What lies? Back up your bullshit or shut up.Otherwise known as perversion? Bigotry is perversion Bubba. I don't know what "mainline" actually means. I thought that it meant shooting drugs directly into your veins which is what some people on this board seem to be doing.------------------------------------------ homosexuality otherwise known as perversion has never been accepted as far as MAINLINE Christianity and the Bible is concerned p.p. . To say anything else is just not true and is just hipster church spin P.P..Really? And that is true-why? Because you want it to be true and therefore decided that it's true and think that we should all accept it as true? That, my friend is what is known as a logical fallacy in the form of an appeal to ignorance.------------------------- your fact just show that some churches are nothing more than businesses as they want donations a pews full of people that are happy to have their ears tickled with emotional lies P.P..If refusing to provide services of any kind to gay folks is so central to the Christian faith, how do you account for the fact that so many individual Christians would say that what these people are doing is wrong and in fact unchristian? How do you account for the fact that so many Christian churches and denominations welcome gays, and perform same sex marriages ? These facts are proof that these people are using Christianity to mask their ignorant and cruel bigotry .
Poll: Religious support growing for gay marriage - CNN.com
In 2003, when the Massachusetts Supreme Court became the country's first to legalize same-sex marriage, less than 30% of religiously affiliated Americans supported gays' and lesbians' right to wed.
By 2014, that number had climbed to 47%, according to a survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute. That's more than the 45% who said they opposed same-sex nuptials.
The margin is small but statistically significant, said Robert P. Jones, CEO of PRRI, because of the exceptionally large pool of respondents: 40,000 adult Americans. (Eight percent refused to answer or said they didn't know their stance on same-sex marriage.)
The problem with religion is that each sect thinks that the other or others are not the real deal. Catholics vs. Protestants vs. Mormon's. Sunnis vs. Shias and on and on. It's all horseshit as far as I'm concerned. There is no respect or acceptance for the beliefs of others and that is the nature of religion. The fact is that there are many who identify as Christian- regardless of who accepts them as actual Christians- who have no problem with gays.
Not just perversion..but mental illness.
Sounds to me like you're the one who isn't accepting of the beliefs of others. Not only that, you lie in order to justify your hatred of them.
So sad. But mentally ill people deal with a lot. Part of what they deal with is an inability to distinguish their own paranoid delusions from reality.
