The Trinity, Updated.

From Best Of The Web:

"Delegates of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) are to tackle whether to adopt gender-inclusive language for worship of the divine Trinity along with the traditional 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit,' " the Associated Press reports from Birmingham, Ala.:

The divine Trinity--"Father, Son and Holy Spirit''--could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb'' or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend'' at some Presbyterian . . . services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly.

"Mother, Child and Womb"? That's even more sexist than the old patriarchal Trinity. We suspect God will be quite angry at the suggestion that she is no more than an Incubator. It ought to be "Woman, Fetus and Body."

"Rock, Redeemer, Friend" is much better, and it's easy to remember. Rock crushes Redeemer, Redeemer cuts Friend, Friend covers Rock.

Man, do I hate Presbyterians. Of course, I am one, so naturally I take this crap a little more personally. The Layman is a pretty good newsletter about this kind of stuff, although they commit the abomination of PDFs, and I don't know why the text is so huge.

No way man. Friend betrays Redeemer, Redeemer rolls away Rock, Rock ends up over Friend.
