This is the ninetieth installment in The Sounds of Fundamentalism series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a video clip that shows the crazy, cantankerous, or contradictory side of Evangelical Christianity, please send me an email with the name or link to the video. Please do not leave suggestions in the comment section. Let’s have some fun!
Today’s Sound of Fundamentalism is a clip taken from a sermon preached by “Coach” Dave Daubenmire. Daubenmire thinks Evangelical churches have been “sissified.” According to Daubenmire, REAL men watch Fox News, Sean Hannity, and Bill O’Reilly. Daubenmire subtly blames women for the sissification of churches. As with most “problems” in Evangelical churches, the blame rests on women, their vaginas, and the mistaken notion that women should be treated as equals to those who have a penises between their legs.
if Dave Daubenmire is the definition of a real man, count me out. I know some sissified women who would/could kick Coach’s ass in a heartbeat. I am beginning to wonder if these “real” men have any idea about what such a label really means.
So what’s he doing with his hat on indoors? I thought real men took it off when they’re inside a building.
Even worse, he preaching. That means that wherever he is, at that moment it was a house of worship. Early Quakers in England were often jailed for refusing to remove their hats in court, but even they took them off in church. Real men indeed!
Hmm. Very interesting – he seems to say the church should be more worldly?!
He says the problem is that type A high achievers come to church and have to sit with everyone else…. but isn’t that the point? Jesus didnt put the rich and successful on a pedestal.
And surely if men prefer Bill Orielly to what they hear in church then perhaps they are the ones with the problem … not the church. Perhaps these people prefer the American dream to Jesus.
And what pisses me off about pricks like this that talk about ‘making America great again’ is what time are they referring to? 19th century with slavery and civil war? Early 20th century with great depression, mid 20th century with racial segregation and paranoia about communists and political corruption?
I’m surprised hes rah-rahing Fox News When the John Freshwater case broke several years ago, Coach took it upon himself to be Freshwater’s media spokesperson. (I know them both and John was out at CapCare nearly every Saturday with Dave D yelling at women going into the clinic.) He went on Geraldo who tore him a new one. As disgusting as Geraldo can be, he was great this time around and Coach ended up sputtering around.
I failed to mention earlier that Coach has a weird way with words which always brings howls of laughter from normal people His obsession with male homosexuality (lesbians don’t seem to bother him much) is famous. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard him say something along the lines of “Homos want to jam their ideas down our throats”
