Dilemmas

You know there's this constant battle between Cornwall and Devon as regards whether the jam or the cream goes on a scone first as part of a traditional cream tea.

Catholics in the Philippines are also in a dilemma with the utterances of President Duerte. Asking "Who is this stupid God?", Mr Duterte criticised the Biblical story of creation and Adam and Eve being thrown out of the Garden of Eden after they ate the "forbidden fruit". "You created something perfect and then you think of an event that would tempt and destroy the quality of your work," he said.

I can't accept it." Local Catholic bishop

Arturo Bastes responded by calling the president a "madman" and urging people to pray for his "blasphemous utterances and dictatorial tendencies" to end.

Here's the dilemma - who is the madman - the bloke who quite reasonably criticises a myth, or the bishop who believes wholeheartedly that the myth was an actual event and that prayers to a sky god will shut Duerte up.
