If you choose to identify yourself with a particular sect, then you should live by their rules, otherwise call yourself something else... you don't get the goodies unless you play by the rules. That's the problem with most liberals, they want all the fun and none of the work or responsibility.
Do you mean to tell me that the Catholic church is not a democratic orginization with debate, elections, focus groups, polls and political lobbying?
You mean it is kind of like a "God said it so you do it" kinda orginization?
