But that's not turning out to be organized religion, almost all religions, across the board, are falling apart and studies are showing that only about 30% of self-identified theists actually care about belief in gods, they're identifying being religious as living a good life, not as holding correct beliefs.

People of a group believing something does that make the belief of the group that thing. In fact, a temporal worldview is the subject of scorn in the Gospels. "The poor you will always have with you"

They didn't have actual data to back them up like we have today. The Southern Baptists, for instance, acknowledge that they lost over 100,000 members just last year alone.

Again, they've always been proven wrong. Religion is here to stay. There are 1 billion Catholics alone.

I dunna know it took them a long time to accept the Medicis as a power force in image making. It also took them a long time to accept (officially) a heliocentric universe over a geocentric universe. Ideas understanding march a lot different now a days.

Heliocentrism and geocentrism are not matters of theology and morals! Science is not the domain of the Church!

You say sadly, I applaud them for not caving into modern relativism.

And that number is shrinking all the time, in fact, in their stronghold countries in South America, Catholicism is falling apart. That's why Francis went to Brazil, to try to shore up the faithful.

The Catholic Church in particular relies on that, the poor are the people who are most gullible and likely to fall for Catholic dogma. In first world countries especially, religion is failing miserably.

Relativism? I often wonder if people know what that word means. I say sadly because they are simply wrong.

The denial of the basic function and purpose of marriage and condemning those who defends it is only justified by a belief in moral relativism. The denial of the absolute truth of gender roles and the family's central role in society.

That's complete nonsense.

Roles are created, arbitrary, and largely only meaningful within a context, a belief system. They are not something that is set in stone. Nor is marriage.

Again they are merely wrong. Morally. Biblically. Socially. Just wrong.

Right, so that only women give birth, that's wrong? Better go tell Mother Nature. Or that men in general are stronger? Also unfair.

Get over it. This is nature. This has to be accepted, otherwise you're living in denial.

No, that's not what I said. We talked about roles, not physiology. Stay focused. Don't go down the stupid path. Address what I actually said.

I'm sure that the Moslem religions will NOT be forced to Embrace homosexuality but all those that you listed INDEED WILL be made to accept it.

Because your world is already destroyed. You have such a talent for misery, don't you? Your Avatar pretty much says it all.

No. Those who believe denying basic rights of marriage to homosexuals (SSM) are wrong morally, Biblically, and socially.

No, those are the good guys. SSM adherents are selfish and perverted. There's absolutely nothing moral, biblical or socially sound about gay marriage.

No more selfish than the rest of us. We all need love and the touch of another human being, some Genesis tells us is good. And the word perverted is little more than an insult. There is nothing perverted about love, tenderness, and mutual giving. This happens among homosexuals as much as it does heterosexuals.

So, I cannot agree with your hateful position.
