"Gimme that Christian side-hug, that Christian side-hug, I'm a rough rider, filled up with Christ's love, gimme that Christian side-hug..."

Cultural appropriation by evangelical Christian fundamentalists has gone too far, again.

YouTube quotes include:

DangerCampbell: FO SHO!!!!!!!!!! lol Chris and Tim TOTALLY pull off this look!

BlueGreen540494: omigosh sooo true! haha whenever me and my christian friends see eachother we do the side hug!!!

"When I hug people, I leave room for the Holy Spirit"

The world's largest side-hug?
