"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC
Are Protestants efficient,industrious and hard-working or what?
The stereotype rings true.
Whilst it takes the Catholic Church weeks,months and often years to rig innocent "verdicts" in "investigations" into charges against their clergy their Protestant counterparts do all that in UNDER TWENTY FOUR HOURS! ( instant innocent "verdicts" - an inversion of Stalinist instant guilty "verdicts" )
The American Episcopal House of Bishops took LESS THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS to clear Canon Gene "Is That A Cannon In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?" Robinson ( that churchs' first openly gay bishop ) of charges leveled against him during a vote yesterday that was meant to confirm him as the Bishop of New Hampshire.
The Protestant work ethic is alive and well!
Too bad about other ethics though!
P.S: Mr Robinsons daughters' ( he was previously married ) defense of her father is an honourable case of filial loyalty but she shouldnt get too carried away.
She should bear in mind that she wouldnt be alive if her father hadnt of been less than 100% diligent in what she's so staunchly defending - his homosexuality.
