Swedish bishop wants to remove crosses from church and mark direction of Mecca
Jihad Watch ^ | 10/4/2015 | Robert Spencer

How wonderful and generous and ecumenical and multicultural this is. Watch for mosques everywhere to remove their mihrabs and install crosses so that Christians will feel comfortable praying there. This is what a society and culture in the midst of suicide looks like. Bishop Eva Brunne has proposed to remove the Christian symbols of the Seamen’s Church in Freeport to make it more inviting for visiting sailors from other religions.

The bishop wants to temporarily make the Seamen’s Church available to all, for example by marking the direction of Mecca and removing Christian symbols, as is already done in common prayer rooms at airports and in some hospital chapel.

“Making a room available for people of other faiths does not mean that we are not defenders of our own faith. Priests are called to proclaim Christ. We do that every day and in every meeting with people. But that does not mean that we are stingy toward people of other faiths,” writes Bishop Eva Brunne

The proposal has triggered protests. Patrik Pettersson, priest of the Oscars parish in Stockholm, thinks that the proposal is noteworthy and writes on his blog:

“The church chapel can not reasonably be equated with prayer rooms at airports and hospital chapels anyway. The Christian churches and chapels are not public areas at any time.”

We have been sounding the alarm on the seemingly unlikely marriage of Islam and the homosexual community. While notable groups like ISIS routinely kill homosexuals, they are the exception in the Islamic world. Going all the way back to Islam's founder, Mohammed, Islam has been a Sodomite religion. Mohammed was known to Sodomize his male victims and in Islam's holy books, faithful Muslim men are promised virgins and little boys for sexual pleasure in their perverted heaven. Both Homosexuals and Muslims are united in their hatred of Christianity (the truth). Jesus told us in advance that it would be like this prior to his coming...

Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

And that’s all I needed to understand why. When you ordain women, you lose the church.

This helps to explain why Sweden has such a high suicide rate.

The Bishop is a woman.

Within five years she will probably be sentenced under Sharia Law and stoned to death.

Yes and she’s so brain-washed with the Political Correctness Kumbaya crap, that she’ll convince herself that she’s deserved being gang-raped and then stoned.

I’m afraid there’s no hope for this type, their entrenched and misguided altruism its impossible to attempt to not only have a sensible conversation with them, but to even get them to understand even basic logic....we have too many of these fools already in Britain.

It’s a shame that the idiot woman doesn’t want to mark the direction of Mecca so that the Muslim Horde know which direction they take to GTFO of not only Sweden but Europe and return to Mecca where they belong.

Why not just remove the pews and install carpets while you are at it?

Morons.

Weakness only breeds more arrogance on their part.

We’re inundated with them here, too. It’s extremely frustrating.

And yes, just as their throats are being cut they will blame themselves.

It wouldn’t be bad if their actions and beliefs only affected themselves.
