Great example from Peter J0nes of what our world is coming to. Was I the only one who missed this?

The trouble is, "both/and" gets a lot of people befuddled. Moral confusion is everywhere. Who is right? The school bus driver who kicked two girls off his bus for kissing, or the transit agency chief who apologized? How should the people of Cambridge, England relate to the new transgendered "lesbian" mayoral couple? Both Jennifer the mayor and Jennifer the mayoress (her wife) began life as men. Are you confused? Sexuality is not the only realm where confusion reigns. Religious confusion is everywhere. A woman Episcopal priest claims to be both a Christian and a Muslim. On Fridays, she wears a black headscarf and heads to the local mosque. On Sundays, she wears the white collar of a priest and leads the church in Christian worship.

Oi Vey! The hits just keeping coming, don't they? Almost every time I think I've seen at least the shadow of all things absurd, items like this come along. My goodness gracious.

Concerning the priestess (which identifies more than enough problems right there), where do we begin with someone as whacked out as this? Thankfully, I have read she is headed to the minors for a year to contemplate her views, take Logic 101, perhaps maybe read the Bible (for probably the first time).

In all seriousness though, obviously the incredibly simple answer to anyone with half a brain is that a person cannot be both a Christian and a Muslim – UNLESS one totally redefines what it is and what it means to be a Christian and what it is and what it means to be a Muslim. Has this woman ever heard of the law of non-contradiction?!?! Two contradictory propositions cannot be simultaneously true. My goodness, what are we clear thinkers going to do with a woman as lost and willingly ignorant as this?

That's right, we're going to pray for her and proclaim the Gospel to those like her. Amen? God bless!
