``If Jesus Christ were alive today, he'd be a vegan who looked like Rod Quantock, and you'd find him up at your local polling booth on election day handing out how to vote Socialist Alliance cards with a baby strapped to his back.''Women bishops banned one day, but OK the next. What gives?

Good on those crazy radical Anglicans for caving in — better late than never, I say. Next they'll have a wireless hotspot and an espresso machine in every church. They've trawled through their intricate patriarchal web of texts; the words of God, the unshakeable cornerstones of beliefs, and the church doctrines, and they've changed their mind.
It's all mumbo jumbo witch doctoring to me. If Jesus Christ were alive today, he'd be a vegan who looked like Rod Quantock, and you'd find him up at your local polling booth on election day handing out how to vote Socialist Alliance cards with a baby strapped to his back.
So why do I care? Because it's fascinating how the slow crumbling of some of the stuffiest old-fashioned fundamentals of Christianity is happening at precisely the same time that traditional churches are having trouble getting bums on seats. And just when cults such as Hillsong are going off like a frog in a sock.
