The Rev. Drew Phoenix, formerly the Rev. Ann Gordon.. I'm surprised that it didn't choose the name "Biff Steele" or something.

Oh, the poor ... person. Someone should have noticed a long time ago that she (as was ...) needed lots of mental health intervention.

Mocking God has eternal consequences. Aye, and temporal ones too; this flaming creature will be reminded of them each time she looks at her mutilated body in the mirror. It is as if she is acting out this passage from Romans 1:
"...committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."
Dante could not have dreamt of a crueler punishment for a pervert that that which this woman has already wrought upon herself. If God is merciful, the very horror of it may yet drive this sad creature to repentance.

Takes a lot of “faith” (or more accurately, self-deception) to believe cutting body parts actually changes one’s God-given sex.

Just goes to show you what extreme lengths fans of actor Dennis Dugan will go to just to look like him.

The United Methodist Church is on an advertizing binge. I heard one of their radio commercials yesterday. The theme was “Something for everyone at the UMC.”
