I love sitting... er... standing in a church as the congregation sings a praise song that mentions something about their feet dancing and yet... they stand stiff as boards.
Drives me nuts. Oh well.
Me being raised in a pentecostal enviroment it always made me chuckle when in chapel service at a my college(a conservative church of christ/christian church college) we would sing about raising hands or dancing and nobody did. lol
I too, have been raised in a pentecostal environment. They always believed that dancing
is only ok when you do a lil jig under the holy spirit.
To be honest, I believe they don't like dancing soo much that they hold it all in until they can't help but dance. kinda awkward isn't it? I rather express myself freely than hold it all in. thats just my view.

Ever here why Baptists don't have sex standing up?
Because it might lead to dancing.

Two people drift in a lifeboat. One says, "I see an island. Our best chance is to go ashore, build a shelter, and await rescue." The others says, "No, we must go farther out to sea and hope to find the shipping lanes." Unable to agree, the two fight, the lifeboat capsizes, and they drown.

there is actually biblical evidence for just dancing before the Lord. when the ark was brought into jerusalem, david broke into dance. there is no mention of the Spirit of the Lord coming upon him at that point...
i have a really hard time with outward worshipers sometimes, but based off that... i really think that it is my problem. i should be happy that some just feels compelled to jump up and down in worship... not sit in my pew and go... he is so distracting...

If someone ever charged you with being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Yea!
That, and...
A few times when i brought up dance music, people (in the church) would start mocking by doing the "robot". My reply would be "there's irony at its best".
blank stares as each of them pick up their acustic guitar 'huh?"
"d'oh, nevermind..."

I love this theard because I point the fingure back at us.... I long for the scene from the Matrix(nerd warning) where they are all dancing in the cave to find a church that would dance like that before God (with just more cloths on and not all up on each other) Me personal as a Dj I push are group to forget the band forget the words on the screen. I push for a dj lead worship where it just you worshiping God; you and God doing what ever you want. I think when we as dj's push for that we will see Gods Glory come like never before because it will truely be our hearts praise and worship and not that of another person or a band. Just your heart and God with an atmosphere set for you to have that encounter BRING ON THE DJ LEAD WORSHIP is what I say
note: I do it with are youth group all the time and God i messing us up every service like never before and we plan to do events that everyone can come to and be apart of yes...davo I know I am a slacker but is finally happening and to think that even trance can bring the presence of God.

I hate church.
Period.
But I have to say I agree with this thread.
I swear people have made christianity just plain frustrating, with there tons of pointless rules of conduct. Nothing seems "right" anymore to me honestly, at least when it comes to the organized branches. What one says is acceptable, another condems. No wonder most people don't want to listen to christians talk about church.....they hear so many versions of what is right and what is wrong, depending on denomination, until there sure christians themselves don't even know anymore.
Me personally, I think Jesus was probably a pretty cool dude to chill with. I bet you he would have liked electronic music, and that he would have thrown down on the dancefloor with the best of them.....probably would have invented his own style as well. I also bet he farted around the disciples, and then laughed when they choked on it, and probably played practical jokes as well. I just can't see Jesus being this uptight Jew, ranting and raving about right and wrong.
But that's just me.

I'm going to agree with you here. I really hate churchs and the reason for it is that Christiany was supposed to be something that transcended culture, race, language and music. The reality is we can have faith with out having to subscribe to a new culture. But the Church has it's own sub culture that we have to adhear to or else find out selves as outsiders. So my point is that I'm not a part of any Church group in any meaningful way at all and I can have faith and at the same time select the type of sub culture I prefer to be in. I want to be me and enjoy the things that I've always enjoyed and I don't want be conformed to some other sub culture just so I can be included with others that believe the same.

Alex, i agree and disagree with you. Jesus definatly was a cool guy to hang out with. look at His first miracle... He is at a party with no more wine... that sucks... Jesus was constantly being accused of being a partier and a cutup.
But.. remember that Jesus died for the people in the church just as He died for you. The church has problems... believe me it does. i am highly involved in mine and i get caught up in all the politics all the time. its sucks. but Jesus died for them...
but in general i am gonna have to agree with you alex.
