For Those Who Know the Difference between Scatology and Eschatology....

One understands the desire for speakers of all kinds to have catchy titles for their orations, but is it really the best thing for the pastor of a church to seek to capture attention with a cheeky reference to the profane?

Thus, while The Oracle commends Dr. Joseph Clifford of the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas for his willingness to take on a text from Leviticus, we would question his judgment for selecting the title for his sermon (as advertised in the Dallas Morning News): "A Lot of Bull."

Sometimes in the quest for relevance one merely becomes tacky.
