United Methodist Church To Split Over Whether Or Not To Be Christians

“There was just no way to reconcile differences,” said Rev. Lloyd Patrick, one of those dismayed by the recent push by traditionalists to follow the Bible instead of each person’s own heart. “A lot of people still want to follow Jesus -- a person from 2000 years ago who made no statements about pronouns and thus has no relevance today -- which is just silly since we all know so much more now and have a better grasp on morality than a bunch of ancient people.”

Rev. Patrick went on to describe how Christian beliefs put an unnecessary burden on people, as they can lead to ridicule or even being canceled. “I guess they don’t have to worry about that in primitive places overseas,” Rev. Patrick said, “but we can’t be expected to deal with that in the U.S.”
While most of the U.S. Methodist churches are moving in a more modern direction, away from outdated beliefs like Christianity, it’s mainly in less developed nations in places like Africa that are still hung up on things like the Bible, necessitating the split. We got no statements from anyone there, though, as it didn’t seem worth listening to such unenlightened views.

Oh my, A smart Ivy league guy. Fake news is where you find it. Of course it’s true. That’s why it’s funny. They are splitting, from the inside, and that is the reason. It’s killing the lutheran businesses too but they have integrated a very profitable human trafficking business into their tax exempt business operations so congregations aren’t as important as they once were.

CNN Attacks Babylon Bee: 'The Internet Is Only Big Enough For One Fake News Site'
CNN has slammed the world's best satire site, The Babylon Bee, after CNN executives realized that "fake news" articles on the website were getting at least as much social media traction as their own.

"There ain't room in this internet for the both of us," growled one CNN anchor on the air Monday evening. "There simply aren't enough people out there for us to fool with our fake news stories and The Babylon Bee to fool with their satire. There isn't enough clickbait and outrage traffic to go around."

Notice the empty seats in the photo. The fate of all churches without Christ.

You are an unredeemable moron.

CNN To Launch Real News Spinoff Site
ATLANTA, GA—After years of publishing distorted headlines, slanted news articles, and heavily biased news coverage, media giant CNN announced Friday that it has decided to launch a spinoff site that focuses on real news comprised of objective facts.

Dubbed “CNN: Real,” the site is designed to bring the news media empire into the arena of publishing real news, a step away from its roots as a channel that covers entirely fabricated stories and shamelessly spins all news into liberal talking points.

So what Cis1990. You are cancelled.

What is fake and what is real. Children of the state, the common core, will never know. They are programmed on the hour.

Jeffery Epstein didn’t commit suicide says The NY Times?

Jeffery Epstein committed suicide, says The NY Times.

You pick. Use your college education to pick correctly or you will have no street cred.

If I wanted a AK15 It’s my right to have it. Self defense is a God given right. It’s governments responsibility to protect God given rights.

Mental health is an issue affecting that right. The US central government controls all schools through the department of education. They have installed system that are inherently unfair, racist in nature and clearly do not serve the best interest of students in teaching them to read, write, think logically, keep open minds and be good citizens.

That political indoctrination and corruption has caused unfairness that grows to anger and then violence. Lots of violence, not only mass shootings. But indoctrinated tools of the state always blame the gun. The “news” “learns” you dat. Dat very same “news” will keep the other violence that doesn’t suit them under wraps.

Your trying to diminish me as a person because of your liberal stereotyping taught to you by the fake news! :lol:

You are also trying to diminish me as a person from the “backwoods” the place all of you sophisticated back East influencers are headed with your heavily subsidized electric SUV as soon as the LL Bean order arrives. :lol:

No wonder

You're going to hurt CID's feelings talking like that. He's a sensitive guy. :ohno:

You on the other hand are just a loser excuse for a preacher - sent packing by the church he claims to have lead - who has come crawling back after he couldn't find anywhere else that would let him hang around. Your legacy was carved in stone here during your last gambit for acceptance by the cool kids that you desperately crave. You should just stay home alone and stick things up your butt.

If your implying I thought the Bee article was true the fact is it is true. You may not like the spin but the Methodist church has decided to split into Christian and non-Christian groups.

Yeah, we already knew you thought a satirical website was real news. You should've been tipped off by the slogan, Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire.

The way I heard it, the anti-gay Methodists are being invited to leave and form their own denomination. But, as we learned with the Anglican-Episcopalian split years ago, there are some sticky legal issues. To name one, who gets the existing church buildings?
