ANNALS OF ANGLICAN USELESSNESS

Things must be going fantastic in Scotland if the Scots Piskies can come in on something that didn't actually happen but, you know, the importance of the narrative and stuff.

We then witnessed the blatant misuse of both a church building and holy scripture in the pursuit of political gain – in circumstances where the President of the USA had only managed to stand in front of the church because his officers had cleared a pathway through peaceful protesters by the use of tear gas and rubber bullets.

The message of the Church and the Bible is about love and equality and all sharing in the bounty of a generous God. Nothing we witnessed last night by the President represented that.

As Jesus said, the whole law is summed up in Leviticus.  Orange Man Bad.

You're "official" Anglicans.  I've said it before and I'll probably say it many, many, many times again.  Shriners have a better claim on being Islamic than you do on being Christian.

So nice of Scots bishops to pronounce on American affairs with no information. The "peaceful" protesters had tried to burn the church the night before, did successfully burn down a nearby building, injured multiple Secret Service agents in an effort to storm the White House, and at the time the park was cleared, people had begun throwing dangerous projectiles at Park Service police.

Last I checked, the Bible Trump held up calls on the civil authorities to do justice and maintain order, and calls on Christians to obey lawful orders. Maybe the Scots bishops could point me to the passages calling for assaults on police officers, arson, and looting.

Good Lord. At least barking trained seals are jovial and cute.
