“I don’t have any hard data on this, but I think that of all the major world religions, Christianity has the highest dork per capita ratio. Did I say that right? Is there a different metric we’re using to measure number of dorks that I should have referenced instead? Are we still rolling with the per capita ratio? It’s so hard to find good research on this topic.
But think about it, no one ever says, “You know who is cheesy? Muslims.” Rarely will you hear someone proclaim, “The Hindus are all uptight.” And when Buddhists are stereotyped they’re labeled as being “relaxed and peaceful.” Christianity though has a lockdown on dork status and you know what? I love it!”

Its being published by Zondervan so i am hopeful that it will get good UK exposure or i might have to whinge and moan about it! I know my whinging and moaning goes largely unnoticed but thats a whole other blog post…….
I totally agree that we are complete dorks. I come from the Pentecostal end of the spectrum so there’s a whole other bunch of weirdness to account for there
HAHA, i was raised in a brethren Church, believe me, your weirdness could not be any worse than mine!! lol
