Theological confusion

[rikibeth]

Okay. I expected Rick Warren's invocation to be made of fail. However, I am now just CROGGLED.

How do you practically open your invocation with the Shema -- the ultimate statement of pure monotheism -- and THEN go on to address your supplication to Jesus, and do the Lord's Prayer?

I have never really gotten a good handle on how a trinity claims to be a monotheism anyway -- I guess the math is too ineffable for me, or something.

WHY DID HE USE THE SHEMA?

Jedi = just Buddhism lite, with Muppets. It'd be kind of awesome, though.

How about a Pastafarian? Touched by His Noodly Appendage!

"Heart of the Sunrise" would be an awfully nice background piece.

Pastafarians would be brilliant. A Presidential Spaghetti Dinner!

Muppets make everything more awesome. The Oath of Office should be administered by a muppet.

Instead of just by a fuckmuppet the way it was yesterday.

As long as it's not Yoda. That'd lead to similar problems getting the words right and in the right order.

Solemnly swear, I Barack Hussein Obama do
Faithfully the office of President of the United States I will execute
and the Constitution of the United States I will preserve, protect and defend to the best of my ability.

'So help me god' in the Constitution is not found.
