Go ahead and stop pretending, Dale. The Episcopal Church is, collectively, a trinitarian religion these days -- it's just that the trinity consists of Molech, Priapus, and Mammon.

These are all jealous and hungry gods.

There exist Christians within the organization yet, but they can all be categorized as (a) ostriches (b) hostages (c) desperate and embattled defenders of the Faith.


God have mercy.

I like that description of the revisionist trinity--uncomfortably close to the mark, really.

I don't think prostitution is the oldest profession.

Some possibilities are taxonomy since Adam's first job was naming things.

Another possibility are salesman since Satan really sold a fast one to our first parents.

That reminds me of an old one....
A doctor, an engineer, and a lawyer were in a bar, discussing which of their professions was the first.
"On the sixth day," said the doctor, "the Lord God took a rib from the man and created a woman. This was a surgical operation, and therefore medicine came first."
"But, before that" interrupted the engineer, "the Lord God had created the heavens and the earth from chaos. This was a spectacular feat of engineering. Therefore, engineering came first."
The lawyer smiled. "But who do you think created the chaos ?"

Donna Marie,

I've heard that one before -- except it was a computer programmer who claimed responsibility for the chaos.

(Three guesses what I do for a living ...)


peace,

Considering that the Episcopal Church is a member organization of this abomination:

you can stop pretending that ECUSA is Christian any time you want to, bro.

That Ragsdale woman looks far too hideous to be a vampire....

abortion liturgist might be more accurate. Katie Rags thinks abortion is the bee's knees.

"That reminds me of an old one...."

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Minister and a Rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this...a joke?"

Oh, much. And don't you remember Buffy? Some of the vampires were hot.

Grump. Yet another infamous, revisionist Kate. I don't like sharing my name with folks like that!

Kate Sanderson, who fancies that she falls under category (c) desperate and embattled defenders of the Faith.
