Sadly, I'm not shocked by this. This "church" has hosted drag shows each June and said they would only hire a openly gay minister several years ago.
I guess by that logic Patrick Mahomes is three times as gay as Jesus.
Send the pasture to James Martin, S.J.
They were the first and the worst of the apostate denominations. Right from the start in 1959 or so, when they couldn’t quite decide whether Jesus was really the incarnate son of God. They have left it sort of an open question ever since. Last time I dropped in at a UCC service, about thirty years ago, the preacher never mentioned Jesus throughout the whole sermon. He did talk about eating hotdogs at the Indians game the night before though, and made a wise crack about those people who get converted in “a shazam! moment.” That’s the UCC this dude preaches to.
Pastor of Satan.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far. far, far away, members of what is now the United Church of Christ were known as Puritans.
Well, what’s left of them. I forgot the exact numbers, but since they’re founding, they’ve lost something like 50%, more or less, of their membership. And that was probably in 2019 or so I remember reading that. On paper, I’m still a member of a UCC Church and get the annual reports and newsletters. In the last two years, my congregation, and I use that loosely, has had a whopping two people join, but probably 10 to 12 die and seen their weekly attendance drop into the 40 to 50 range. The last time I actually attended regularly, back in probably 2012 or 13, when the pastor was actually really good, they probably had 150 to 175 on your average Sunday, excluding the summer one attendance, probably got down into the 70s

This Pastor should be defrocked, depanted and have 100 lashes with a cane!
Well, there goes the NFL.
(DEMOCRAT James Talarico)
Had to look him up.
[Talarico describes Christian nationalism as “the worship of power – social power, economic power, political power, in the name of Christ” and has accused Christian Nationalists of turning Jesus “into a gun-toting, gay-bashing, science-denying, money-loving, fear-mongering fascist” and argued that it is “incumbent on all Christians to confront it and denounce it” in a 2023 guest sermon which racked up more than 1 million views after it was posted on YouTube]
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 statements given the rich Democrats.

This evil moron has never heard of the Infantry. Bunch of dudes, hanging out together. Let him call any of us queer.
A wolf inn sheep’s clothing and a liar if he’s claiming to be Christian.
There’s really no difference between throwing these people into the sea with a millstone around their necks, or just putting one in the back of their heads.
