After watching the Banana video, I was reminded of the Kayne West/Mike Myers Hurricane Katrina video when West went off on Pres. Bush and Myers had that look on his face like he wanted to be anywhere but next to Kayne.  I kinda felt bad for ol' Kirk.  &lt;br&gt;I have long had a problem with the cheese ball sayings and the "God Billboards" of the Christian faith.  I agree, what the world knows of Christians, we are goofy.  Thanks for posting the video and thanks for Ragamuffin Soul.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS. I wish we could have some of the big dogs material for free.  It is frustrating to not have free access to some of the better materials out there.
