What does God taste like?

So I'm helping a friend of mine teach a drama class at a church for her CP (Culminating Project). Before each class, the youth group meets. So she and a few of our mutual friends all go to the youth group meeting and then on to the drama class. Which is fine. I don't go to church anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm not Christian. I still listen to and appreciate what my fellow Christians have to say.
Or so I thought.
As it turns out, the youth pastor decided that the best way to get the group excited about God was to compare God to food. He went on about how hid ladyfriend loved health food and how he does not, and how health food tastes really bad when you are eating junk food. However, he said junk food tastes really bad when you're eating health food. All this makes sense.
Then he decides to tell us this is all very much related to Jesus Christ.
Jesus, of course, is health food. Satan is junk food. Sometimes we are so into thje bad things in our life, he was telling us, that we don't enjoy good things as much. Then he said, and I practically died at this, "Maybe we make all these excuses not to have God in our life because we don't think he tastes very good"
Let's get something straight. I am a christian. I am not making fun of this youth pastor for talking about Jesus or God. I'm making fun of this guy, who is remaining nameless for obvious reasons, because I believe he is making fun of God.
God is a concept so deep, choatic, crazy, beautiful and hard to understand that it is almost insane to talk about God in terms of food. But I've ranted enough. I don't think God wants me giving this guy a hard time.
The idea is really funny if you don't take it to seriously though. I'm kinda tempted to print "Life" cereal boxes with the name "God" on them. In fact, I might actually do that if I were commited enough. Unfortunately, I have better things to do.

Livejournal, eh?

I might as well give this whole blogging thing I try. Why not?
Just so you know, I'll probably use this place to review movies, books and music. I'll also type out my thoughts regarding religion and excitingly awkward social ideas (such as asking a potential date to homecoming in full drag). Maybe if I feel adventurous I'll post an experience about my life like I would in a real diary. I highly doubt it, but it just wouldn't be a full-on live journal experience if I didn't risk getting abducted and raped/murdered.
My teeth hurt. Hrrmm.
This is off to rocky start, this whole blogging thing. I wonder if it will only go down hill from here. Probably? Mmyeah.
