Do it the Dutch way!

As usual the Dutch are leading the way in liberal free thought. Now they are showing the best way forward for the Church, by removing God from religion.

The Rev Klaas Hendrikse from Exodus Church in Gorinchem, central Holland recognises that the bible accounts are mythological stories and says that “God is not a being at all… it’s a word for experience, or human experience”.

Normally such views would have him ejected from a Church and excommunicated, and probably hung, drawn and quartered just to be sure. Not so in Holland as his congregation agree with him.

Now lets hope the rest of Europe follow suit.

The Most Ridiculous Lawsuit Yet!

A “Christian” midwife is suing a hospital in what may be the most ridiculous and frivolous lawsuit yet. Apparently in the hospital she is required to wear *gasp* surgical scrub trousers. Yes, you read it right she is suing because she believes that wearing trousers is against her religion.

Apparently there is a passage on Deuteronomy (22:5) which forbids women from wearing men’s clothes and vice-versa. Again, yes really, and this is the basis of her lawsuit claiming religious discrimination.

There is only one place for this waste of a tribunal’s time, the surgical waste bin!
