What is up with The Power Team?
This post is about Sharon Mazer's article about The Power Team and how ridiculous it is. The Power Team is an evangelical group that uses physical feats of strength to show how strong their spiritual strength is. This is, indeed, ridiculous. There are no connections between the two. Especially in the way that these guys exploit. Now, if they did something like Samson did, that would be something different, but any tough guy could do what these guys do. Not to mention the insane emphasis they put on masculinity and patriarchy. Everything about these guys' stage screams MAN. It is constructed out of chunks of wood, cinder blocks, and scaffolding. They all wear red, white, and blue to show how patriotic they are. And they ask you to give to their organization so that they can feed their families. Gotta tug on the heart-strings somewhere. It's just ridiculous what these guys do. It is nothing what religion should be.
