An observational documentary series that takes an all-access look inside the life of Jay Bakker and his Revolution ministry in Atlanta, as he faces the struggles of putting together a new generation of Christian punk rockers.
Kind of interesting.

Why can't you just be a freaking christian anymore..no, you gotz to be a "born-again christian" or a "punk rock christian' or a "christian rocker"..I mean those original disciples where just plain old christians...everybody these days thinks they're so special and unique like godamn snowflakes.

His father is one of most sincerely disfunctional and creepy people I've ever met. This is just the business of church building.
- TheBlueOne0
So he's a fucked up publicity whore just like his folks..yup..definitely fell far from that tree...

killing for jesus is a great song by the circle jerks.

His father doesn't like him. He supports Gay Churches. Seriously, he does. It's a crazy show for those of us that grew up in very Christian churches.

punk + christian = oxyMORON

look at you all judging people.
figured as much
- monkeyshine0
oh please, jazx...it's a marketing ploy created by record labels to sell even more records and used by the religious right to recruit youth.
- mrdobolina0
yeah, you would never judge anyone, dipshit.

Nahhh... it's more than that. He talks a lot of shit on traditional church beliefs. He doesn't agree with his father. Watch it first, he pisses a lot of people off, but he's far from some angst driven-punk. It's more of just a style thing.
It's well shot, regardless of the content.
I believe you are referring to the entire Christian Rock thing, that's a bit out there for sure, but hey do what works.
Last time I checked, we were all design whores.

Looking at him, is this show existing because he pitched "Christian Ink" to the Learning Channel and they told him to bugger off, so he repackaged it as some "controversial" punk christian thing for the Sundance Channel?

What would Jesus tattoo? or pierce for that matter...

Jesus - such a huge forehead on that guy! - Is using the term 'prodigal son' in that context nigh-on blasphemy?
- mpfree0
Probably.
LOL, 'Christian Ink'?
Like Tattoos? He's got about 100 of 'em.
- Mimio0
Jazx, this just stinks of business savy preachers get one over on the public...again.
Also, those Israeli comments by MrD were blown way out of proportion.

being a punk is being a non-conformist.
being a member of a christian church is conformist.
i presume the use of the word 'punk' is the american term they used to describe their more 'teww' and fashion-led punk scene rather than a scene that was all about rebellnig against the system like UK punk was.
