I have heard that — back in the ~1930s, there was no more evangelistic denomination in the US than the old-line Methodists.
However, since becoming the “United Methodists,” and allowing libs to take over their seminaries, the Methodists have for the most part been a drag on the American Christian scene.
Here in Texas, they seem to thrive and grow — for reasons I cannot quite comprehend. (I suspect that some of the UM pastors in these parts are either less liberal than their northern colleagues — or else they learn to keep their liberal views to themselves while wearing cowboy boots and going deer hunting.)
However, this pastor’s no doubt well-intentioned Ramadan gambit is a glowing example of the shallow level of Christian theology that dominates United Methodist circles.
To with, he is to his Muslim “friends,” at best a dhimmi, and at worst, nothing more than a filthy kafir ape worthy of death.
His goodwill ‘gesture’ will elicit no goodwill in the implacable hearts of the Muslims in his neighborhood — the caliphate must be established!
I might add that the pastor is probably woefully ignorant of the true nature of Islam, as are most Americans.
I suggest he begin reading AtlasShrugs, CreepingSharia, and BareNakedIslam to get a quick immersion course!
