I hope the Queen picks a good Archbishop.

One that doesn't fark little boys, for example.

Well we're out of cake!

Thank you for flying Church of England

Is that a cake coming down the road?

It's cake *or* death, not cake *and* death. And technically, it's tea *and* cake *or* death.

I'll have the chicken.

The Bishop!!!!

Yes, I remember. I had the lasagna.

The Black Adder was archbishop for an episode in season 1.

trappedspirit: If it weren't for Monty Python I wouldn't have the foggiest clue what the headline was talking about. As it is, I have heard some of those words before, but still have no clue what an archbishop is. And I'm not asking.

Monty Python? No, no cake for you!

Old and tired figurehead to appoint new old and tired figurehead.

That's the squirrel joke, not Cake or Death.
"Did I leave the oven on?"

If the Cake is a lie and Death is an illusion will the Archbishop Canterbury Bunny still provide tasty Easter chocolates?

Good, maybe they can get a non-dhimmi to take his place

He finally converted to Islam I see.

Flakeloaf: In related and similarly relevant news, the head of the local Renaissance Faire is choosing a new high adjudicator.

Call me when you local Ren Faire king has 70 million followers and controls more than $2 billion in annual spending

As an Episcopalian (American arm of the Church of England), I guess that answers the question to Thomas a Becket's approval.

This man has been responsible for escalating anti-gay bigotry in the Church for years, to the point of Anglican schism. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Archbishop.

I asked for the vegetarian~

Joe Blowme: Good, maybe they can get a non-dhimmi to take his place

by the way "dhimmi", the way you are using it anyway, is a word made up by racist right-wing lunatics to make themselves look culturally aware. The real word refers to nothing more than non-Muslims living in Muslim lands. Just thought you should know so you don't go around looking like one of those racist dickholes

So his choice is "...or death?"

They'll have to try a new election process. Last time the "raise your hand for this candidate" was an abysmal failure.

HAHAHAH islam is not a race asshat, and yes, it means more than you want to admit. In fact, i think you will make a good dhimmi.

/denial, you suffer from it.

Joe Blowme: Good, maybe they can get a non-dhimmi to take his place

Unlikely, as a dhimmi is a non-Muslim subject in a Muslim state that is governed by sharia law.

So if he is a dhimmi, then that means that the UK is a Muslim state under sharia law and therefore any non-Muslim subjects of the UK are dhimmi and it follows that the only way to have a non-dhimmi as the head of the Church of England would then be to have a Muslim as the head of the Church.

Or maybe he's not a dhimmi.... What do I know.

kimwim: AverageAmericanGuy: I hope the Queen picks a good Archbishop.

This is Episcopal, not Roman Catholic

Actually the Archbishop of Canterbury is "the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, and the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury" (per Wikipedia)

Looks like to me you need to read up on what is happening in the UK and their acceptance of sharia courts. Better yet, go see for yourself then we'll talk.

I found the previous Bishop of Canterbury to be insufficiently Arch.

They're supposed to be doing that to their wives, they're CofE not Catholic.
Although they, like all christians, do seem to spend waaaay too much time thinking about gay men...

That's a shame. Lets hope they don't replace him with some nut-job to please the bigots.

I'm hoping they chose the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells

Looks to me like you get your colonoscopy at the same time as your routine dental appointments.

Yeah, but the Pope is Bishop of Rome and "Vicar of Christ", which is way cooler!

I thought it was Cake and Sodomy...

ah good.

So does this mean we can stop calling republicans nazi's? After all nazi's are german's living in german occupied territories under a dictator in system that mixes state socialism with rabid nationalism mixed with polytheism and acute xenophobia.

After all, republicans are not german.
/most of them, anyway
//and something something democrats something socialism something russian or chinese something and snark

I've got a better option.

I actually live in the UK and have done my entire life, so I think I might actually have a handle on the subject.

You're obviously either grossly misinformed about Sharia in the UK or being deliberately disingenuous.

Sharia courts have precisely as much power in the UK as Beth Din (Jewish religious courts), which is basically as much power over you as you let them.

English law states that any third party can be agreed by two sides to arbitrate in a dispute, and in the case of religious courts (be it Jewish, Muslim or Pastafarian), but both sides have to agree to arbitration by said third party.

I, or any other UK citizen, cannot be dragged into a Sharia court for anything unless I agree to it, and then it only covers civil matters, any criminal complaint will be dealt with by the UK courts system without any recourse to any religious panel.

/though I do feel like I probably have a hook stuck in my cheek.

Dad?

I'd like to nominate this guy....posthumously.

Cake for me too.
