God's eyes must be rolling the way His church is being used.....

Moron’s I’m going to quit this PC goofy religion.

Which church is more left wing, Methodist or Episcopal?

"Chickens in your backyard are great fun," St. Laurent said."
quote of the day!

[cripplecreek]

And this is the reason I call myself a Methodist in exile.

[rhombus]

And people waste their time worrying about Mormons?

I’ve been around houses with chickens in the back yard. I hated the smell. I prefer the way the grocery store has ‘em - all dead and everything.

Hillary professes to be a Methodist.

“We’ve had climate change long before we’ve had human influence,” Fleisher said. “The critical thing is ... we may not be causing the climate change, but we are accelerating that change.”

This is where we find ourselves, we must make sacrifices in order to die slower; nobody thinks this can be avoided, they just want to drag it out and watch the suffering.

ELCA Lutherans are buckin’ for that “honor” too.

I agree. Besides, in the backyard they'd eventually thaw and stick up everything.

[weegee]

PCUSA, no?

Which other natioanl churche has taken a stance against Israel?

[Emmett McCarthy]

I got to thinking maybe these are “Santaria Methodists” where they need chickens for sacrifices or something? OK - I’m just kidding and don’t want to offend any real Methodists.

Unitarian, if you count that as a religion.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Maybe that is the reason my group has home Bible study!

[sirchtruth]

My experience with Methodist are, they show themselves to be a basic
"Moderate" pathostic, organized and formed around a "religion." So this
article doesn't surprise me in the least bit they would even consider this tripe.

[pepsionice]

Strange how this group of nimwits never reflects upon what they will do when global cooling occurs.

In one paragraph we're told:

...outlined the concept of peak oil first put forth by M. King Hubbert in the 1950s. Hubbert accurately predicted that American petroleum production would peak in less than two decades.

OK, Hubbert accurately predicted that oil would peak by the 70's.

We're next told:

Today, peak oil generally refers to a global peak, which Fleisher said is on the verge of being reached.

So what was 'accurately' predicted to have happened by the 70's is on the verge of happening almost 40 years late.

But, that's OK 'cause it still 'about to happen':

The best-case scenario is that the point at which global oil production reaches terminal decline is a decade or two away, he said.

Yep, that sure was an accurate prediction. It was supposed to happen within twenty years, hasn't happened in nearly fifty, but it certainly will in another ten or twenty. What a joke. The only thing that's peaked about American oil production is the political will to allow exploration and drilling.
