That quote is sooooo two-faced.  It makes me want to tear my hair out.  Contentious and difficult, bickering, dividing....  Aargh!

And - what???  WTF?? 

May the Father in heaven, for the sake of the only-begotten Son, bless us with such an abundance that we may cease to be part of the problem and become a part of the answer

Huh??  They got the "bless with such an abundance" all right - they forgot the "become part of the answer."  (What exactly was the question, again?  "Let's not be divisive" or some such?)  In fact, they are not part of the problem - they are the problem.

Right, Twinky!  Huh?!?! is exactly right.

So, it's a blessing of abundance that allows us to be the answer to division? Which division? The one inside or outside the church? And what kind of abundance?

Just piles and piles of odorous excrement.

Why division?  Weeeeeelllll it certainly couldn’t have come from the lack of enlightenment of your fodder in da verd.

He was perfectly enlightened as the story was told to one of his young female conquests.

it must be everyone else in the world.  All the denomination heads who are seed of the serpent.  All the Corpse who really don’t stand with him.  All the Bible interpreters, if they just could see it in the original.

No, can’t you see that all the division is not caused by the sick minds inflicting their illness on unsuspecting sheep, it is really that those sheep are so not enlightened that they can’t see the scriptures in their literal translation according to usage.
