Driscoll gives science report a beat down

According to Marc Driscoll, controversial pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, a new report from the American Academy of Pediatricians that says children and teens shouldn’t box is part of a conspiracy that continues to portray Jesus as a “neutered and limp-wristed Sky Fairy.”  The report recommended young people “participate in sports where the prime focus is not deliberate blows to the head.” Driscoll says that’s nonsense. “Boxing is an essential element of being a Christian man, and it’s one of the foundations on which America was built.” The abrasive 40-year-old megachurch alpha male is a fan of mixed martial arts, and says his favorite movie is Fight Club. Any male believer –young or old– who doesn’t suffer a couple of concussions a year just isn’t living out his faith, Driscoll insists. “I’ve learned that if you turn the other cheek fast enough, it can literally knock an opponent to the ground,” he said, as he slammed an empty Red Bull can against his forehead, flattening it with one blow.
