Should Christians wear mohawks & spike-studded jackets?  That's the topic this week in the New York Times Styles Section. 

In an article headlined "Rebels with a Cross," an array of experts sound off on so-called "extreme" Christian fashion.  Some say that they are following Jesus, the ultimate rebel.  Others think "the rebellion is quite superficial."  Rebel or traditional, everyone is welcome here at the BofG! 

Well, maybe except for the guy who thought being a punk Christian meant wearing a mullet.

EXTRA:  One professor quoted in the article offered this cutting critique of the trend:

Dr. Smith compared the romance of rebellion to the middle-class fascination with hip-hop culture. "Spoiled suburban white kids act like rappers, and there is a real connection to something, but really it's not what their lives are fundamentally about," he said. "Their lives are about wanting to go to Duke University."

I am soooooooooo busted.
