DETROIT – The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Friday became the most prominent religious group in the United States to endorse divestment as a protest against Israeli policies toward Palestinians, voting to sell church stock in three companies whose products Israel uses in the occupied territories.

The General Assembly voted by a razor-thin margin -- 310-303 -- to sell stock in Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions. Two years ago, the General Assembly rejected a similar divestment proposal by two votes.

Israel must come to terms with the reality that changing demographics and a woeful ignorance of history is resulting in declining support both in the United States and the EU. Obama’s thinly disguised hostile policies toward Israel are not occurring in a political vacuum.

They have to pretend to be a church of Jesus Christ to keep the cash flowing into the collection plate.

"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3. This church has turned away from Christ. They are in deep do do, to put it in the vernacular.

Presbyterians, they have a policy that embraces the screwing of gays and Jews, just in a different way.

Jesus was asked for comment about this divestment from his birth place. “it’s not my business what they do.” He said. “I haven’t been in that church in years.”

Henceforth they should be treated as muslims by everyone. Every last one of them. If they believe in God, they are needing to leave.

If this was a real Christian church, their money would be going into mission fields instead of the stock market...
