"Everybodys God language is appropriate...." I was going to say, "OK, I believe in God the poodle?"
"Whether they want to call God 'Jehovah' or 'Big Dog,' you cant judge the validity of how that name connects them with God."
But yikes, they went there.
Reality overtakes parody. Self-parody overtakes satire. Why all the comedians are out of work.

How retarded can these apostates be?
It's pretty obvious that Jesus refers to his daddy as Father. Are they saying that they know more than Jesus?

That's exactly what they're saying.

One more reason to abandon the Methodist “Church”, where they can’t find any Biblical admonishments to stop abortions and homosexuality.
To remove the male reference to our Father in Heaven is disgusting and worthy of all their parishioners’ contempt.

Actually, God "the Father"
alone is not exactamundo God "the Creator."
The Creation was Created by God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It was created by the Trinity.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Does this mean that they do not consider Jesus Christ (God) to be inclusive enough for them? (Think how many times He referred to the FATHER.....and to doing the will of the Father.)
Ohhhh wow....how the idiocy expands....

If God self-identifies as a man, I think we should embrace His decision to live out that lifestyle.

Just another example when you stray from the scriptures to support your own traditions. Can it be a tradition if they just made it up?
Maybe 'transient preference' would be a better way to put it. Soon enough they will find a word for God that they like better.

The church where I am a member (UMC) offered 3 books for summer reading; a book on White Privilege, a book supporting gun control and a book supporting Global Warming.
The church we attend offered a book on witnessing to non-believers/Muslims.
