That's true. The American Episcopal church is the most liberal and accepting of all the major churches. And this is the one rkzenrage is attacking?

The only reason this is in the news is because they are talking about what role gays should have in church leadership. In the leadership!! Other religions don't even want you as a member if you are openly gay, let alone in the leadership.

And not just religions. Look at what happens when sportsmen come out.

i don't care who is gay or straight.

The one?
You must only be reading a few threads.
I have always thought the argument that an organization, party, anything, was doing X amount of good outweighs any negative thing they do, no matter how heinous and/or hypocritical, and makes them immune to criticism. It is a ridiculous statement.
Try again.
