Schizophrenic Faith?

Or maybe it's really no real faith, at all? Now, before I'm lambasted for jumping to conclusions, what would you think after reading this headline?

"I am both Muslim and Christian"

Why, the possibilities are darn near endless, I am both:
a man and a woman,
a animal and a plant,
the coffee cup and the coffee,
the chicken and the egg,
the day and the night...ad infinitum.

Shortly after noon on Fridays, the Rev. Ann Holmes Redding ties on a black headscarf, preparing to pray with her Muslim group on First Hill.

On Sunday mornings, Redding puts on the white collar of an Episcopal priest.

She does both, she says, because she's Christian and Muslim.

Confused? Probably not as much as Ann Holmes Redding is...

Her announcement has provoked surprise and bewilderment in many, raising an obvious question: How can someone be both a Christian and a Muslim?

How indeed? But where there's a will (albeit, disturbed and incoherent), there's a way!

...religious scholars are mixed: Some say that, depending on how one interprets the tenets of the two faiths, it is, indeed, possible to be both.

Psycho-babble morphing into theo-babble - perverting the normal understanding of "All things are possible with God..."

Is this an example of what the educational system has done? Check the philosophical acumen Redding displays...Profound!

Redding, who will begin teaching the New Testament as a visiting assistant professor at Seattle University this fall, has a different analogy: "I am both Muslim and Christian, just like I'm both an American of African descent and a woman. I'm 100 percent both."

You too can be both a Mohammedan and a Christian - it's as easy as saying to yourself that you're an American with blonde hair and a human! There! See how easy it is?

[It might be well worth noting that Seattle University is "one of 28 Jesuit universities in the United States and more than 100 around the world." (Source) So why, some might ask, would a "Catholic" university hire someone like this? Some have stated that it (the university) may have run out of apostate Jesuits to teach the class - and that might be a good thing. Nonetheless, this should prompt all of us to pray for this Jesuit institution and for this woman who apparently has quite a number of "issues."]

Redding's bishop, the Rt. Rev. Vincent Warner, says he accepts Redding as an Episcopal priest and a Muslim, and that he finds the interfaith possibilities exciting.

Is it really any wonder why the Episcopal church is in such disarray?

When one thinks about it, is it really any different than saying "I'm Catholic and Pro-Choice", or "I'm a devout Catholic and I support embryonic stem cell research." ? The two positions are completely opposed to each other, irreconcilable - at least, until such a time as pigs fly.
