Do leftists ever think through the implications of their bright lightbulb poppings?
One of their latest stupidities, via Glen Reynolds of Instapundit (who has a fine curation), came a couple days ago from the Presbyterian side of things, with seminarians at New York's Union Theological Seminary offering up their 'confessions' to plants, an act than makes even less sense than trying to talk to a goat.
According to the Washington Examiner, they tweeted:
"Today in chapel, we confessed to plants," the nation's oldest independent seminary declared Tuesday on Twitter. "Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?"
Which sounds nice until you recognize the implications of the whole idiocy for those who eat plants, such as vegetarians.
After all, I actually eat plants myself, wolf them down actually, and if the idea is to apply human standards to the flora and fauna, it's hard to find a more monstrous act than fricassee-ing up that spinach with diced garlic, or boiling that broccoli up in stir-fry sauce ... and eating it. I grow my own food actually and tear off the ears from the corn and rip out the beets by the roots, and slice into little pieces those tomatos I grow with a vicious knife and watch them bleed, tearing them away from their mother bush ... and eating them.
Then I do even worse ... serving them up with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
And by this stupid leftwing logic, I am far from the biggest sinner against plants for the now-confessable act of eating them.

I confess, my german shepherd dog peed on a plant and I didn’t stop him.
Un-fricking-believable
Neo pagan schizophrenics now run seminaries.
Is this a prank by the instructor? It better be.
Some people confess to their creator. And some people confess to their priest. And now some people confess to their marijuana plant. Had to happen I guess...
The nice thing about confessing your sins to plants is that you can eat the plant and then no one will ever know what you confessed about.
Well, I guess Bro. Meliad could hear my confession.........
Idiocracy was a documentary...................
Well, if they are Methodist plants.......Philo and Rhoda Dendron...............

They definitely need to beg forgiveness for turning plants into cheeseburgers. Damn cannibals!
Better than confessing to a pervy priest.
The ancient idea of the scapegoat meant the goat would take on the sins of the people and be driven out into the desert. Does the plant take on the sins of the person who confesses to him/her/it? If it is a potted plant, it could then be taken out to the desert and left to die. Of course if a wild animal ate it first then the animal would carry the sins.
