"God is slap awesome."

If the church that belongs to this marquee ever became a mega-church, I would bet money that they would become the first mega-church to sponsor a NASCAR driver.

Yeah, and my foil-hatted neighbor is fixated on the unseen.

Yeah, but they only teach to the test.

Keep 'em coming.

  1. I actually find it a little surprising that there are no church sponsors of NASCAR ... seems like devoted race car drivers would donate their services (although that'd be a tough tax write-off), and there's certainly plenty of folks at the races who could use a little extra church

  2. Is "slap awesome" a NASCARism? I've never heard that expression, even though a sizeable percentage of my congregation are devoted NASCAR watchers.
    And what does it mean to be slap awesome?
    Is someone going to rewrite Rich Mullins' song, and claim, "Our God is a slap awesome God..."?

  3. If I Google slap awesome unquoted, the only first page hit with the words in that order is this page. If I quote it, the first hit is some forum where somebody declares "God is Slap Awesome" back in '04. So maybe they've hit the quinella with an obscure AND outdated pop culture reference.

    As for sponsoring NASCAR: VERY EXPENSIVE! I was joking with a friend at church who does marketing for a GPS manufacturer about driving directions for NASCAR -- turn left NOW turn left NOW turn left NOW turn left NOW. He commented that they looked into NASCAR sponsorship and decided they could spend that money better elsewhere.
