That whacky guy who writes Sally Forth

"To the extent you can identify and share common interests with the other person, you will likely leave a good first impression. And to the extent that you can comfortably identify your relationship with the Lord in your conversation, you are likely to solidify a good impression. Even an unbeliever will be left with a good first impression if he senses that you are comfortable in being casually open about your relationship with the Lord."

For who among us has not quickly warmed to a new acquaintance who felt comfortable enough to say aloud, "If we're all going in on a pizza I'd like ham because God put us in charge of all the animals in His dominion, especially the tasty ones." Perhaps the only thing that could provide greater comfort would be if a stranger were to walk up to you with his pants around his ankles, holding a funnel and a ferret, and said, "Little help?"

This is reference to other passages from the blog you quoted:

The piece about Christian men being expected to have short hair. In the terms of greater human history long hair on men has been acceptable much more often than not. Even Jesus (in most accounts) is supposed to have worn his hair long and is depicted that way in art.

I wear my hair quite long myself. For a while, I used to say, "I'd sooner trust a young man with long hair than trust a young man with a buzz job." Long hair is my sole method of freaking out, even though I'm entitled to more than that.

As the Neil Young song goes, "Sometimes I feel like I owe it to someone".

I prefer my hair at its old length of 'middle o' my back' but the job market seems to disagree. Jerks.

I'm not sure the ferret guy would necessarily provide "comfort", but the mental images are funny!
