Holy Mother of God !

More empty pews.

They may learn when the DD's are cancelled, and knowing people that go to church, that will happen.

I doubt the Catholics or Muslims will follow suit.

There's a bit of a problem here. It was Jesus who said God was the father and created the Lord's prayer, so was Jesus wrong?

[bednobs]

i often wonder when stupid religions are going to end, so anything they do to hasten it, good!

[Redhelen72]

Do any of you go to church on a regular basis? Does this actually affect you directly?
Christianity is supposed to believe in loving everyone.

[Bobbisox1]

I don’t want to question the scriptures per se ( I’d have put it in religion) but I question when is this wokeism ever going to stop, if ever

[Ken4155]

'Course he's a fella. Never met a woman called Harold, have any of you?

[Bobbisox1]

[Ken4155]

[Bobbisox1]

Oi, this is News but that did make me laugh from my sick bed :0)))

Our non gender specific parent who art in heaven.........
:
thy, non gender specific monarch-dom come thy will be done.....

Doesn't really scan so well does it!

[ToraToraTora]

....oh almost forgot....Perlease!

[Old_Geezer]

Well... why would individuals have gender in a spirit realm ? Is the suggestion they need to breed or something ?

Still, it's a unnecessary change to something that relies on tradition.

[ToraToraTora]

If he's a "he" would he be cis-Father?

[tomus42]

I think it's funny. The whole thing's ridiculous anyway, so this can't make it any worse.

[naomi24]

Utterly pathetic.

[Atheist]

Why would anyone believe that God is a father, apart from following tradition? If humans are made in God's image, then surely God would have both male and female identities. Why atheists should get uptight about such a silly issue involving a non-existent being is beyond belief.

[naomi24]

I don't think atheists are particularly concerned about God - but rather principle.

[Atheist]

What principle, Naomi? It can't be anything to do with penises.
