dake-bonoist

An Evangelical Christian of a Pentecostal or Charismatic persuasion who embraces a very conservative and narrow perspective on the world while simultaneously trying to appear somewhat "hip” through his or her choice or clothing, hair style, and choice of music. They frequently choose to listen to the music of U2 because they have been told that Bono is a Christian, despite the fact that their outlook on the world is diametrically opposed the that of Bono as well as the other members of U2. See also Dake-Bonoism.
John listens to U2 day and night, God only knows what he is going to do when he finds out that Bono likes to use the "F" word. That Dake-Bonoist's world is going to be completely shattered.

dake-bonoism

Though originally a term denoting an internet spoof-religion, akin to Recreational Christianity, it has, through common usage, evolved into more of a disparaging slur against jubilant fundamentalist Christians in general, and Charismatic Christians in particular. It is aimed at those whose over-simplification of Christian dogma appear to, in all actuality, complicate it. It is a way of saying "You're world-view is so far removed from conventional reality, that you are not even worth debating." Synonymn: clicker.
"I hate to condescend like this, but with your obviously Dake-Bonoist views, I may as well be discussing politics with Jimmy Swaggart."

dake-bonoism

Dake-Bonoism is a modern synthesis of the pentecostal teachings of the late Rev. Finis Jennings Dake and lyrical writings of Bono (singer for the popular band U2).

Dake-Bonoists are known to practice a variation of the glossolalia called clicking. It is different that other manifestations of tongue talking because it is done by clicking ones tongue against the soft-palate while cupping the hands across the mouth.
That Carman guy has to be a Dake-Bonoist. That boy can click like there is no tomorrow!
