The Gospels do not even agree with each other in several cases and the fact that four were selected to begin with suggests no one account was considered definitive.
    Many people who argue for female priests believe that not even scripture can be trusted because of this, that or the other thing. If we can't trust scripture as Christians, why do we trust anything? More importantly, why is it even important that women can be ordained to preside over nonsense with no meaning? We are left with modern "morality" at the root of the desired change which is the danger.

    This opens us up to something similar to Unitarian Universalism as far as I am concerned. Unitarian Universalism is a hogs throw away from Nihilism, once they get past all of their right meaning confusion. I can't wait for Lemur to come into our discussion to cite that there is no such thing as a slippery slope. Tell that to the Unitarians that used to belong to a Christian church.
