    Anyone who wants to shed their humanity and “be like God” deserves to be “the asshole”.

    What is it with you emergents and foul language? I am just so sure that Paul would have thought of this when he wrote about the Body of Christ……

    Steve, what does that mean?
    lol.
    I just watched Doubt, and I totally connected ‘the asshole’ with the necessary strictness of Sister Aloysious, not that I thought she was an asshole, but because of how she was received by people.
    Then again, maybe noone else saw that movie. It is worth your time.

    glenn: i don’t claim to be emergent. as for the cartoon: for lack of a better word!

    Rebecca,

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll chek it out!

    “Anus” just doesn’t have the same ring.

  8. Boethius said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 am

    LOL

    Will the Body of Christ, in its perfected state, have the need for an “asshole”? (Of course, I would never use this word, personally. I am only restating it for the sake of the argument. :) )

    ttm…’tis true…Uranus does not have a ring ;)

    Nobody HAS TO be the asshole.

  11. steve martin said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    Fred,

    Right!

    But we seem to go there, anyway.

    Maybe it’s that ’sin nature’ in us.

    I posted this on my facebook and I got told off by my old pastor.

    Your sense of humor isn’t always warmly welcomed, I take it?

  13. nakedpastor said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    Savannah: that’s sad. No, not always welcomed… even in my own house! ;)

  14. Fat Radical said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 4:22 pm

    This is the sort of thing I normally get told off for………….but I don’t think it has anything to do with being emergent, more with being irreligious and trying to be funny. You either have to choose your audience carefully or be unafraid of who you might offend and hang the consequences. The truth is that you actually don’t need everyone to like you to be happy.

  15. Jim Getz said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    I for one fully embrace my role as the colon in the body of Christ. Some has got to get rid of the poop!

  16. Savannah said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 pm

    Eh, he is a really good guy… just totally not his sense of humor and he was offended. I get that not everyone would get that cartoon upon reflection. And that’s fine.

    But… I did. *^_^*

    I also find it funny that it made me think of the scriptures about God is the potter and can make some vessels for glory (is that the right word?) and some for mundane uses. Heck some pottery had to be the chamber pot.

    oh lol. I’ll stop now.

  17. nakedpastor said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 5:31 pm

    good comeback savannah!

  18. Laura said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 6:16 pm

    LOL Savannah!

  19. indie said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 11:02 pm

    So funny.

  20. Jenny said, on March 23rd, 2009 at 11:18 pm

    Oh, I laughed out loud at this one. At work.
    Thanks NP, you’re really hitting the mark, piece after piece!

    Paul used the body analogy, and bodies working pretty much then as they do now I think I can confidently say (even without a B Th or M Div to my name!), I reckon he’d enjoy your cartoon too.

    WWJLA – What would Jesus laugh at? :0)

    Cheers NP – you rock!

    Actually, I’m told that’s a perfectly good literal translation of the Greek word “aphedron” from Matthew 15:17 and Mark 7:19. But in English-speaking cultures it has been deemed a “dirty word” so Christians are expected to not use it.

    Reminds me of the time I was working (p/t) for a Christian radio station and used the word “heck” — not on the air, just in a conversation with another employee in the hallway. The morning host had just walked by, and said in a loud voice as she retreated, “Christians don’t say heck!”

    *** sigh *** — what a silly aphedron …

  22. Savannah said, on March 24th, 2009 at 5:46 am

    I am totally stealing aphedron

    teehee

    We should never underestimate the value of the asshole. If it stops working we die. No one likes the shitty jobs.

  24. TitforTat said, on March 24th, 2009 at 8:49 am

    We should never underestimate the value of the asshole(greggmac)

    And this statement possibly opens up a whole other line of thinking. ;)

    I usually just lurk in the shadows on blogs and enjoy the banter, but this thread has drawn me in. Personally the language bothers me, but it is not up to me to control the thoughts or words of my brother. The humor is good in spite of my personal dislike of the choice of words.

    Ray,
    In all my research the Greek word “aphedron” is actually best translated as a privy or in modern english a toilet. Same train of thought but different pictures. LOL!

    nice to meet you Amanda, and welcome!
