'More F%*^&*$ Tea, Vicar?'

Reverend Michael Land thinks that the Church needs to update its image. But the image of the 'trendy, right-on' vicar will still do nicely:
The softly spoken vicar says if Christianity is going to be taken seriously it needs to get ‘streetwise’ and start effing and blinding.
Err...
Offering up some encouragement he sermonised about a recent road rage incident where he told a motorist to ‘**** off ’ while wearing his dog collar.
I would have loved to see the look on his face, mind you...
The 67-year-old even claimed that Jesus regularly liked to swear and urged church-goers not to ‘place him on a pedestal’.
I'm not entirely sure what Bible the Reverend Land is reading. I'm pretty sure it's not the King James edition.
Mr Land mirrors the new BBC2 series Rev starring Tom Hollander, who regularly swears at his flock.
Ah! Now it's all clear. Obviously, there's no 11th commandment against shameless bandwagon-jumping...

    So the Reverend Mr Ninny wants his church to sound like a barrack-room?

    Try this for size: "Mike Land, why don't you fuck off and die?"

    If Jesus Christ shouldn't be put on a pedestal, then I guess we should just get rid of all the pedestals. And then burn the pedestal plans and shoot anyone with even the most loose knowledge of how to build one.
    'Let us pray...'
    'Fuck yeah!'

    In one short post, an example of why Albert & I have given up on the CofE and headed for Rome.

    Just when we thought police were the undisputed winners of the National crude mouth trophy, the ******* vicar puts in a late bid.

    James Chapter 3 v 10,


    'Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.'

    James should know; he was the half-brother of Christ.
