It hath cometh to path then

Women are now officially allowed to be bishops. The downside is that the decision has created the possibility of a split within the Church of England.

If it does split, which side will God favour and will the other side be out of favour with God and their prayers not answered?

This is indeed a dilemma. Any tips on which side to choose would be gratefully accepted.

I havent got any tips for you Eldrick. It doesnt bother me either way as i am a Catholic. Have to admit though, not that keen on having female priests, dont know why, just doesnt seem right.

Bang go all those "actress to the Bishop"jokes then.

You don't need to choose sides do you Eldrick ?

Being an atheist and all.

Whos taking joy?

I admit I do enjoy pointing out the hypocrisies - like if there is a split which side will God be on and all that sort of stuff. And why does God not point everyone in the same direction - why does he tell some that women should be Bishops and not others...? Raises a few questions, does it not, lol.

No different at all to poking fun at the government, politicians, the royal family, whatever. Religion is not, to me, immune from having fun poked at it.

Like when the Islamic world went ballistic over a few cartoons. Christians are pretty much the same - not quite as radical I agree, but they dont like being made fun of!
