Daily Mail front page has lost it again this time about God

The Daily Mail are not happy today, not happy at all.

Is it the cost of living crisis, the various Tory scandals?

No, of course not, they have now said God has gone woke.

In the artilce they write: God could be referred to in ‘non-gendered’ terms during Church of England services for the first time, it can be revealed.

Breaking with centuries of tradition, bishops have announced they are launching a major ‘project on gendered language’ this spring.

It may suggest that priests can stop using the male pronouns ‘He’ and ‘Him’ when referring to God in some prayers, or even that they can drop the famous phrase ‘our Father’ from the start of the Lord’s Prayer.

The Most Rev Justin Welby said in a 2018 lecture: ‘All human language about God is inadequate and to some degree metaphorical.

‘God is not a father in exactly the same way as a human being is a father. God is not male or female. God is not definable.’

David Carrick, the now-former Met police officer who serially raped women, was sentenced to life imprisonment for his actions. But in the Daily Mail's world, gender neutrality and God is the main news story. What a fucking time to be alive! pic.twitter.com/KIob4FDsXd

Yep, you can count on the Daily Mail to declare this is the latest instance of “wokeness” – when Elohim has always been non gender specific in Hebrew.

Daily Mail editorial meeting:

[editor bursts in]

“We have to change the splash.”

“Why?”

“God’s gone woke.”

Great to see the Daily Mail tackling the big issues of the day. We need to have a very serious debate about what gender we give to omnipotent beings. What gender is God and crucially, which toilet are they using? pic.twitter.com/IasCbPDrxv

Can the Daily Mail prove that god exists, has a gender, and that gender is male?

I'd like to see them try. pic.twitter.com/tysx0gZGV8

The news story isn't very significant but I love any Daily Mail headline beginning "Now even GOD…" The disbelieving irritation of that "now" – tremendous

Or James O’Brien’s take on it

Instead of pointing and laughing, James O'Brien looks seriously at this Daily Mail attempt to enrage you with a story of how God could be going gender neutral.@mrjamesob pic.twitter.com/8dlNm9pN4F
