looks like the elusive editor keeps getting Ken Silva all tied up in trouble :)   Read Ken trying to get outta this one.  Isn’t the GENERAL editor the one responsible for the information being put out by their publication?

Also, I am trying to figure out how we misconstrued the point of a four line satire article.  Pretty funny stuff.

From here:

Well, you know, we have had a lot of people who have been displaced in their own homes, but we have also had a lot of people taking people into their homes. We — our church is built on what we call small groups. We have about 3,500 small groups that go from Malibu all the way down to Carlsbad. They’re in every city in Southern California. And, so, our members have been taking in people all week. So, instead of them having to go to evacuation centers, they’re actually staying in homes of our members.

If we’re evaluating fruit, then this fruit is good.

From here:

A new nationwide survey conducted by The Barna Group shows that 6 well-known Bible stories are accepted as literal truth by an average of 2 out of 3 adults. Surprisingly, the most significant Bible story of all — “the story of Jesus Christ rising from the dead, after being crucified and buried” — is also the most widely embraced. 3 out of 4 adults (75%) say they interpret that narrative literally, while only 1 out of 5 (19%) say they don’t take that story literally.

Considering this is the central tenant of the gospel, this has a lot of implications for both churches (where’s that missing 25% on Sunday?) and for watchdoggies (pretending the sky is falling when 3/4 of their neighbors believe in the resurrection is a bit hysterical).
