Seattle's Best Christians, according to The Stranger

WARNING: The Stranger, "Seattle's only newspaper," also known as a free newsweekly uses a stylebook which does not eschew language which some may find offensive.

The Seattle's Best Christians article, offered without commentary with an invitation to discuss either in the comments here or in the comments on the article:

RantWoman made it all the way to the section below "Jesus Lamb of God Christ" before encountering vocabulary that would frighten gentler souls. Word.


RantWoman happened to invest part of her two-page / quota of scraping her eyeballs across actual normal-sized print in reading an item from the same issue about Pulled Pork and Kimchi Pizza:

RantWoman is including the item along with Christians because of an exclamation about "Christ on a crust," and because she hopes there are other people of faith such as herself who like their faith served with both spicy food and over-the-top verbiage.  The text below has been censored for those who, like RantWoman, find themselves bizarrely intrigued but who can live without certain overused epithets.

Pulled Pork and Kimchi Pizza FOOD & DRINK The Pine Box


The new Pine Box on Capitol Hill has a slew of great selling points: more than 30 beers on tap, lip-smackingly great Bloody Marys, and elegantly creepy mortuary revival decor. But those points take a flying leap once you sample the pulled pork and kimchi pizza. I know: It sounds disgusting! But Christ on a crust, it’s ... delicious! Imagine spicy pickled jalapeƱos, tangy kimchi, rich garlic sauce, and tender pork chunks all pillow-fighting for dominance in your mouth. Pair it with one of their fancy-assed beers, and you’ve got yourself the perfect meal. (Pine Box, 1600 Melrose Ave, www.pineboxbar.com, 3 pm–2 am, $14)
