Nuttiness

The apostle Paul and ancient pagans didn’t agree on much. But they agreed on one thing:

"Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad."
- Euripides

“Professing to be wise, they became fools. . . . God gave them over to a depraved mind…�
- Paul (Romans 1: 22, 28)

I’ve noticed there’s been quite a bit of nuttiness in the Episcopal Church lately. Like this, for example, and like the sermon linked here on the 14th.

As I’ve commented on another blog, you can’t make up stuff this nutty. The Episcopal Church has become a satire of itself. The great Monty Python troupe excelled in lampooning the church. But I don’t know if even they could outpace the craziness that is the Episcopal Church USA.

Could it be we are seeing Paul and Euripides being proven right once again?
