Episcopalians Vote to Allow Gay Marriage in Churches

Knuckling down to my demands? My only demand is that you don't force your religious laws on me and my fellow Americans, and considering that's exactly what the Supreme Court just decided, I don't need you to do anything at all. So keep crying, we've already won.



As opposed to going against muslim, hindu, buddhist or atheist marriage? I suppose that's an easy position to hold when you think christianity invented marriage and as such must purely be defined by only christians. Luckily we live in America where they have the right to marry, and you have the right to be sour about it.

Sour? I'm not the one having to stare at an anus instead of a vagina.
 
Well, there you go. One guy said:

“Churches that lobby to have freedoms and rights taken away from ANYONE should absolutely have their 501(c)3 status revoked"

means the "pink mafia" is after you Christians and it's just a matter of time before the pink mafia achieves its goals. BE AFRAID OF TEH GAYS!

LOL.

it isn't 1 guy it is a state wide organization. he is the head of that organization.
I am still waiting for you to provide evidence of your claims earlier so far you still haven't and probably never will.

so go back answer the question then maybe I will consider something else you have to say.

You're still in a contest that only you are playing. I hope you're enjoying yourself!

And it was one guy, and he didn't actually mention anything about gays, homosexuals, same sex marriage or related terms in his statement. But if you want to Fear teh Gays! that's your business. Christianity and churches are safe.....for now!!
 
It looks like some Christians don't see a problem with approving of same sex marriage. I wonder how many will say this just 'proves' Episcopalians aren't 'real' Christians

This is what I HATE about organized religions. A bunch of humans, persuaded by changes in the political correctness of other humans, will vote, and by simple majority decide what the Word and Commandments of God are. Please vote to dissolve your whole hypocritical BS church. It is all about making humans happy so they keep paying millions to some lying appeasing BS preacher.

How does one denomination of one "organized religion" somehow become all organized religions?

What does this comment have to do with the subject under discussion? It almost could be used as yet another example of the homophobe denying his deepest desires.
 
On the one hand, it's good to have more evidence that gay rights have nothing to do with a conflict of religion vs secularism, and that there's a strong divide between religions on the subject. On the other, it's always funny to see the supposed unchanging word of god struggling to catch up with society.
 
The word of God doesn't change and doesn't need to catch up.

The word of God has changed with each new translation of the bible and in almost every sermon given by a preacher of that bible.

You mean to tell me your wife doesn't have an anus?

Nothing if 'you' are not in the conversation.
 
The thread was hijacked. But for all those intent on a discussion of assholes, you've done a fine job of exemplifying the difference between the clinical and the metaphorical.
 
Christians in name only. If you don't adhere to scripture, you're a fake. The Bible wasn't meant to be redefined or rewritten...only reread.

so which Christian denominations are truly Christian then in your view?

Common misconception, and simply not true.
 
Which ones are those?

I think it's self explanatory. Here, I'll type slower, the ones who follow the word of Christ. Do you understand now?

No. I don't. He is basically stating that episcopalians are not true christians. So I asked specifically... which denominations are true christians. Then you jumped into the fray with a non-answer. Wanna actually answer it? Or do you wanna keep playing coy and dodging this rather specific question with obtuse generalities?

We can go one by one if you like...

Are Baptists true christians?

There really is no other answer. "Christ" is the root word of "Christian". How can you call yourself a Christian if you do not follow the word of Christ? Serious question.

ARe you gonna answer my question or not? Coming back at me with a question isn't an answer.

Are episcopalians true christians?

Or just say you don't want to answer.

Certainly their leadership is not promoting the teachings of Christ by allowing gay marriage and gay church leaders. I cannot know the heart of every Episcopalian. I am sure a great many don't subscribe to what their leadership has done.

So, how can you follow Christ without following Christ?
