Bishop Folliot: Do you think you can carry this off indefinitely you fool?
Archbishop Thomas Becket: We are all God’s fools, My Lord.

From the only reliable source of news on the net, The Onion:
When The Onion is on target it is on target.
My type as well!
Definitely the bottom of the bell-curve. Science has debunked the whole “love your neighbor” myth. “Charity” is simply a complex primate grooming ritual. Even babies share their Cheerios, and so it’s not something that demonstrates superiority like getting a PhD in Gender Studies.

The practice of the virtue of charity and of loving one’s neighbor is following one’s vocation. Getting a PhD in Gender studies, may not be following one’s vocation. It is all about saving one’s rational, immortal soul.

I agree, Donald, they are my ” type of brainwashed morons” as well! The story however forced me to take a closer look. It was so blatant in its disdain for the Christians that I thought it to be another spoof etc. But it is not!
The forces of the dictatorship of relativism now Arne. Showing their teeth. Christians are not being criticized or even demonized for their failures ( sins), or for what they believe( considered a real threat to the established elite) but now they are criticized/reviled for the real good that they-we do!
Hold on folks, things are going to get even rougher.
It is a spoof Botolph, as that is the stock in trade of The Onion. The target are the atheists, at least those who despise Christianity, who probably make up a not inconsiderable fraction of the readership of The Onion.
It’s definitely a spoof. It’s too over the top. @Mary, my response was tongue in cheek.
The best satire always racks up a 50-50 “get it” ratio . . .
