Some days you don’t aim so high

The Chuch of Scotland has gotten itself all up in a knot over the ministry of an openly gay man, leading the Reverend Ian Watson to opine:

“To claim that the homosexual lifestyle is worthy of a child of God; to demand that a same-sex partnership be recognised as on a footing with marriage; to commend such a lifestyle to others is to deny that Jesus Christ is our only Sovereign and Lord. It is to turn the grace of God into a licence for immorality,

“Such people will not inherit the kingdom of God (1Cor.6:10). And therefore they must be resisted . . . Let me assure you, neither I nor like-minded minsters enjoy conflict . . . But have we learned nothing from history? Remember Hitler and the retaking of the Rhineland. He got away with it. No one stopped him. So next it was Austria, then Czechoslovakia, and then Poland and only then world war.”

I am a little disapponted that the Scottish Church is working itself up over this given its dour, low church ways which should surely send the gay brotehrhood into the high camp, smells and bells sisterhood of the “who you callin’ bitch? bitch” Church of  England.

Media reported “outrage” over the comments but given they are so ridiculously over the top its hard to get exercised over the lunatic opinions of a two bit pastor shouting down the echoes in his empty kirk.

Much better I practise my new favourite word – “Twunt”.
