and here is reason 356 why I no longer consider myself to be one.
From the Last Crusade: Moon God beams over America's heartland.
The First United Methodist Church in Omaha, Nebraska hosted an interfaith prayer vigil on Sunday, August 23. The vigil was neither held in preparation of feast days of St. Louis, the heretic fighting King of France, who died during the Second Crusade, nor of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, the first Christian missionary to India.
The ceremony was rather conducted in celebration of the first day of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, when the Angel Gabriel revealed the first verses of the Qur’an to the prophet Muhammad.
The vigil was held at 7 p.m., when the Maghrib is recited and Muslims can break from their fast.
An integral aspect of our congregation is the mutual respect we have for one another in our diversity,” the Church proclaims on its website.
Few members appeared to object to the recitation of Muslim prayers within the Christian sanctuary.
The First United Methodist Church of Omaha is “inclusive of those associated with all sexual orientations and gender identities.”
It is not known if antro-females, drag queens, and sadomasochists participated in the vigil.
In its notice of the service, the Church said that prayers will be offered not to protect the world from the onslaught of Islamic violence and the plague of Muslim pedophilia but rather for the passage of President Obama’s health care legislation.
Progressive!
