Church Man Laws
August 8th, 2006 · Posted in God Stuff · 7 CommentsAll men who go to church need to read this: Man Laws for Christians.
Church Man Law 1: Men should not hold hands with other men while praying.
I second this motion. Also when singing. I was once bugged because I didn’t want to stand in a circle and hold hands while singing a song at church… sorry, not for me thanks. And think of any visitors who might have come in then, how would they feel?
Back to the post, there’s gold in them thar’ comments. This one had me in stitches:
Perhaps some kind of “Pound it law” where instead of holding hands, men can simply pound their fists together after the prayer is finished as an expression of both unity and awesomeness.
Also:
1. No “groin to groin” hugs with another man.
2. All complements are followed by a loving insult (this of course, is never to be practiced towards a lady).
3. No high fives ever unless it is somehow part of a joke.
4. Crying is allowed in three possible scenarios a) you’re alone with your wife (bonus points!) b)you get kicked in the family jewels or c) Guinness brewing company shuts down.
The one true man hugTM consists of a chest-bump combined with three pats on the back. I’m. Not. Gay.
Although predominantly funny, there are some really important points made there too. What do you think the Man Laws of Church should contain?

We have a rule in our bible study during prayer time. The girls meet together and ‘share’, while the guys ‘talk and pray’. Far more manly to talk and pray…

This is so funny!
In our biblestudy, we have a rule that women share while men talk (though essentially they’re doing the same thing, apparently “sharing” is a very feminised word…)

Hi SamR, sorry that your comment took so long to turn up, it got caught by my spam filter… I’m glad I checked, I hope I haven’t lost anyone else’s comments.
Nothing personal against you
Good points though – using the differing words makes it come across so differently.

You said that at Nana’s place.
I did lots of talks at youth group, hence not knowing what you were on about.
Proper capitalisation. Pleeeeeease.
