With so many socialist, atheists and Democrats (did I repeat myself?) in America, I don’t know that America would fight back. Right now the answer with Obama in office is a loud NO!!

Is there no end to this nonsense? What is next? Having women wear burkas? Muslims are becoming the West’s “scared cows.”

The most important unanswered question of our times:

Why?

Dear Bishop, I sure wish you’d stand up for Christian faith instead of kissing Satan’s arse...

1 Peter 5:
“ 8 Discipline yourselves, keep alert.[a] Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters[b] in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”

Ephesians 6:
“whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our[a] struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these,[b] take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.”

The Anglican communion has become soooo trendy; no eternal truths for them. They could start raping young girls and cutting heads off and burning other Christians i cages— all in the name of reaching out, of course.

Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem 1187: “Convert to Islam, repent later”.

Nothing new under the sun.

"Their parishioners"?

It's more a question of being able to walk down the street without being recognized as Christians.

Are all bishops retarded?

Here's the deal. Reach out to Moslems and invite them to join a non-gutter persuasion. If they prefer Sharia they aren't likely good prospects or assets after they join.

And the muslims see all this pandering to them as weakness and grow ever more contemptuous of Westerners.

And these bishops are just fueling that fire.

When do these clerics start raping non-mohammedan women and beheading the people in their outreach program?

Jesus and the apostles had beards. Early Christians, monks ... They stole the beard thing from us. I’m growing a winter beard and am starting to look like a monk/October relief pitcher.
