The Weirdest Christian music Video (God's Backhand)
I wanted to laugh at the cheesy lyrics and 80's synth music at first but the images chosen in this video to "support" this song are quite disturbing.

This has me speechless. We can not allow this in Cincinnati. I am shocked that we rank 3rd worst in the nation behind Detroit and Cleveland. This is a wake up call for all churches and community organizations.
