PC-USA Gets More PC, Less Bible
I love how as organizations drift to the Left they invariably take it out on the Jews
The largest U.S. Presbyterian church narrowly voted Friday to divest from three multinational corporations that it said supply Israel with products that promote violence in occupied Palestinian territories.
The divestment, vehemently opposed by many of the nation’s prominent Jewish organizations, and hailed by many pro-Palestinian activists, passed by seven votes after hours of tense and complex debate. It means the Presbyterian Church (USA) will sell its shares of Motorola Solutions, Caterpillar and Hewlett Packard, worth about $21 million.
The vote at the church’s biennial General Assembly, meeting this week in Detroit, was 310 to 303. It makes the 1.76-million member church the largest religious group to vote for divestment, an issue that has been fiercely debated in recent years among mainline Protestants. The Episcopal Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America both have rejected divestment. Presbyterians have discussed divestment for a decade, and a similar vote was defeated by a slim margin two years ago at the last church assembly.
There was an audible gasp on the floor of the COBO Center in downtown Detroit after the motion passed. “In no way is this a reflection of our lack of love for our Jewish brothers and sisters,” Heath Rada, the church assembly’s moderator, told the assembly afterwards.
Read that revealing quote again:
“In no way is this a reflection of our lack of love for our Jewish brothers and sisters,” Heath Rada, the church assembly’s moderator, told the assembly afterwards.
I guess they’re coming up with something really good to properly reflect their lack of love…

Now I regret the donation I made in memory of an acquaintance.
Bigotry and prejudice are alive and well in America. Thanks to lefties everywhere.
They also voted down a resolution supporting medical care for babies who survived abortion.
I think they’re just tired of being Christian.
Well, that solves my investment portfolio problem.
I will be contacting my own broker, and initiating ‘buy’ orders for Motorola Solutions, Caterpillar and Hewlett Packard.
I mean, if you take the advice of a bunch of morons such as the U.S. Presbyterians, and then do exactly the opposite, I reckon the way forward is clear.
