I just wrote a new guest post for Matthew Paul Turner over at Jesus Needs New PR about a sermon I listened to recently. Here’s an excerpt:

I thought of Matthew’s interview [with Wally from WAYFM] one day last week when I found myself listening to recent sermons on the website from a church very similar to the one I grew up in. In fact, my great grandfather’s brother helped start this church fifty years ago, and it’s just down the road from where I live now. The sermons contained all the hallmarks of a good Fundamentalist sermon, like five minutes of gloating about what a glutton he was the past weekend, contrasted with the bit about how if you take one sip of alcohol, you’ll end up a drunk and kill someone while driving. And of course it contained the requisite ranting and yelling, and the defense of the King James Bible as the only correct version, inspired by God.
But what really stood out to me in the sermon is something I’ve come to term Fundamentalist Logic, which is most acutely manifest in discussions having anything to do with science, or the reasons why rock music is from the Devil.

Check out the full post, along with a video clip of that sermon.
