Forgive me for asking, but what are they smoking over at the United Church of Christ?
First the United Church of Christ's rule-making body voted overwhelmingly Monday to approve a resolution that endorses same-sex marriage. Now resolutions passed by the United Church of Christ call for Israel to dismantle its security fences around Palestinian territories and for companies to use "economic leverage" to promote peace in the Middle East.
Excuse me??? If a terrorist who wants to kill you is at your door, do you open it up and let him to discuss "economic leverage"?
Peter Makari, the church's executive director for the Middle East and Europe, defended the General Synod's votes, saying the church remains committed to religious dialogue and participation among Jews, Christians and Muslims. That's all fine and dandy but one group trying to kill the other two!
David Elcott, the American Jewish Committee's U.S. Director of Interreligious Affairs, criticized the resolution. "We understand Christian concerns about a wall, but we believe that saving human lives is more significant than property," he said. "That wall has saved the lives of Jews, Christians and Muslims."
Maybe we should build a wall to contain the idiocy of the UCC?
