“Fully Christian and fully Muslim”? I think not! “No man can serve two masters…” and “a house divided against itself will fall” seem to apply here.

At least two of the Episcopal churches here, included my former parish church (during my Episcopal phase) have stopped referring to God as Father (too sexist) and to Jesus as Lord (suggests an authority figure, rather than brotherhood), along with other changes in language. I wonder how many pages they’ve torn out of their Bibles. I suppose the Book of Common Prayer has either been replaced altogether or “updated” again.

Point well taken, Dan — thanks.

But there does seem to be a reflex denial by authorities on many occasions with many instances of suspicious nature. Sometimes I think we are more concerned over not offending Muslims than hunting for those who want to kill us.

The “huge” weapons cache found in Dallas was four firearms and a flare launcher. There were no illegal arms involved. There was, however, probable child pornography, which may go a long way toward explaining why the tenant left during the search.

If my home was searched, it would also be reported as a huge weapons cache. I am a hunter, a shooter, and a hand-loader. Loading components are much less expensive in bulk, and thus I have thousands of rounds of ammunition.

You should always take news reports of “arsenals” or “weapons caches” with a big dose of skepticism.
