FAQ

If you have kept up with the Fall Festival post you know there has been a little bit of tension in the comment section. I have to admit out of all the things I have said here it surprised me to get that much heat for my thoughts on a fall festival. BTW in case you didn’t read that post, the Fall Festival was very lame.
Anyway the comments were tame compared to a few of the e-mails I got.
The e-mails made me laugh as a few questions were asked over and over so I thought instead of responding to each e-mail, I would answer the questions here:

1.) Are you really a Christian?
Yes. I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ at age 19. But thanks for asking.

2.) Are you really a pastor?
No. I just play one on my blog. Yes, I am. I pastor Ridge Stone Church in Canton, Ga. God let me start in August of 04. BTW, to the two people who e-mailed the info e-mail address on our webpage to complain to our leadership about me, that e-mail address goes to me. We are also a year old so I am the leadership. I considered your complaints and decided to stay pastor of the church but thanks for the e-mail.
3.) Why are you a Perry Noble clone?
I really didn’t know I was. I just met Perry in person a few months ago. He has been very cool to me and New Spring has been cool to Ridge Stone and while I really respect him and consider him a mentor in many aspects, he is a Clemson fan so my respect for him only runs so deep.
4.) Why do people like you think you have all the answers?
I am not sure what you mean by people like me. Do you mean handsome Georgia fans? I don’t think I have all the answers. Why do people like you ask dumb questions?

5.) Why do you have such a problem with traditional church?
Believe it or not, I don’t. I just thought the fall festival of this church I went to was lame. I was saved in a traditional church. My mother is on staff at a HUGE traditional church. I think God for traditional church. However, I feel that the church in general is not very effective anymore and felt called to start a non-traditional church. Plus suits make me look fatter then normal.

6.) I would love to meet you and kick your butt.
Not really a question but it made me laugh. It has been a long time (about 8 years) since I was in a fight. Matter of fact I was in a place a few years ago where a fight broke out and all I could think about was if one of those guys somehow hit me that it would hurt. I knew I was getting old. I would probably be a little rusty but if you feel the need to fight, the redneck in me would probably be game.

There you go. This could become a new feature on Mad Babble. Before you ask, yes all of those questions were real questions I got this week but the answers are in jest…sort of.
Have a good night!
