Redwolf corresponds: Does Transcendental Meditation count as loonie fundie nonense?
, and points us at this interesting article from HogBlog:
David Lynch is even weirder than you think: he's a devotee of Transcendental Meditation out to raise $1 billion to build 100 peace palaces around America in which crowds of Transcendental Meditators will whip up the fresh, creamy karma that will bring about instant and total world peace, no strings attached.
But he's still going to make disturbing films filled with sex and violence...
Thank you for that one. Pastor Best sends a Humanist press release:
Bishop Declares Jesus' Teachings Wrong
We've gone against, absolutely against, the word of Jesus in revising our regard for divorced people who want to remarry, said Bishop Gene Robinson in an interview in The Daily Telegraph.
He is the newly consecrated Bishop of New Hampshire in the USA and he pointed out that the teachings of Jesus on marriage, sex and slavery, as well as on divorce, were wrong.
This is the first time in recorded history that a Christian Bishop has corrected the teaching of Jesus, said Roy Saich of the Humanists web site.
When the Humanists led the campaign for divorce reform in the nineteen sixties the Bishops opposed it, as they have other important reforms,continued Mr. Saich,but I am pleased the new Bishop is honest enough to acknowledge that, like Humanist morality, Christian morality can change. Of course he is no longer a Christian if he opposes the teaching of Jesus on these issues. He can hardly claim Jesus as God incarnate, concluded Mr. Saich.

Er, apart from the "cleave unto each other" bit, I don't seem to remember that Jesus is actually quoted as teaching about marriage and divorce, is he? I was under the impression that Bishop Robinson was pointing out the silliness of Church doctrine on the issue.
Jesus opposed divorce (although was this interpolated later?) but never opposed polygamy or the keeping of concubines or slaves AFAIK.
