I linked the Stuff White People Like from the very first post of doing this, and then a few entries later found Stuff Christians Like and I so I put that link there too. Also along with my disclaimer that I've done everything I talk about here on my blog, for whatever that's worth.<br />I've emailed with the guy who does Stuff Christians Like and he's really nice, a really great guy.stephyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047873385595074389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-12279045563300943132009-05-03T05:26:00.000-07:002009-05-03T05:26:00.000-07:00It is really hilarious that you critique 'Christia...It is really hilarious that you critique 'Christian' culture in ways that demonstrate how they try to mimic the world around them yet you mimic a blog that already was doing the same thing.<br /><br />http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Your blog used to be enjoyable to read, now it just comes across as arrogant, as though everyone should just think and like what you like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-31822433337923138252009-04-22T17:45:00.000-07:002009-04-22T17:45:00.000-07:00Oh good!
