I grew up with a background that said if your personal moral beliefs differ from your church’s, one or the other of you is wrong and something needs to be done about that.

That's true of most Christians, but as I mentioned before, humans are very good at justifying our behavior, and thinking that it's OK for us, even though we know it's not.

What I really meant was, if I totally disagreed with my church’s moral teaching on something, I’d either find another church or take another look at my stance. It seems like there are a lot of people who find it more important to be affiliated with a particular church than to actually believe what it teaches.

At least when they join some apostate group like the UCC or the ELCA you know what you’re dealing with.
