Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

An offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention that is not as committed to defending the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible as the SBC since Evangelicals recaptured the denomination from liberals and moderates. CBF also presents a more egalitarian set of policies on social and political issues along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.

CBF does not explicitly deny the truth of the Bible, but they emphasize that individual believers can interpret the Bible any way that they choose. This tack on interpreting the Bible can easily provide a liberal Christian with the license to make the Bible into a wax-nose so that one can twist the Bible to justify whatever one wants to read into the text. This loose approach to reading and being instructed in the Bible comes from CBF's so-called "Four Freedoms": (1)Soul Freedom-a direct relationship with God without intermediaries (2)Bible Freedom-each person can interpret the Bible for himself without direction from anyone but God (or who one can easily deceive oneself into believing is God, viz. oneself who wants what he wants and wants it now) (3)Church Freedom-local church autonomy (4)Religious Freedom-as defined by egalitarian leftists at the ACLU. The CBF is affiliated with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which opposes such benign policies as allowing for Ten Commandment displays.
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship member reflecting on Deuteronomy 24 after his wife has burnt the toast: "I see here right in the Bible that I can divorce my wife if she displeases me. So, I shall divorce her and marry my sexier secretary. After she gets some mileage on her, I shall trade her in, too. I am so glad that I read the Bible and follow God's Word."

Brian Fallon

The lead singer of the Gaslight Anthem who thinks he is the next Bruce Springsteen. He got the name "Gaslight" because Bruce used to play his gigs at the gaslight club. He is always talking about Springsteen in his interviews, plays a telecaster, and emulates bruce and it's really annoying...Their both douchebags in my opinion..His songs are good, but he's like The Game (rapper) because he is always name dropping or stealing lines from previous artists' songs. His mouth is really tiny and he needs braces...he tends to sit cross legged while playing acoustic guitar and wears tight pants and vans slip on shoes with no socks. He also wears the same hats springsteen wore in the 70s and flannel shirts. Nonetheless, he's got great talent and will go far with his band if they stay punk rock if their next album becomes pop then they will lose a ton of fans especially here in Jersey. Hopefully Brian won't be a sell out like his idol. My cousin knows Benny and that cat is awesome. Check out Spiro Agnew on myspace.

O'Fallon

1. noun: General term describing someone of partial Irish decent who enjoys giving women (that don't actually want to date him) bruises. Typically the O'Fallon can convince any woman with low self-esteem that they should have sex with him, simply because they they are too afraid to say no. An O'Fallon usually has sex lasting no longer than 11 minutes. This is beneficial to the O'Fallon, since it never sees only one woman at a time. After sex, the O'Fallon's catch phrase is usually "This just isn't a good day for me."
Did you hear that O'Fallon is an abusive, misogynistic, dick head?
