"When things like this are said about Catholics, they are referred to as bigots. Seems to work with you as well"
Now now, Cathoicism is unquestionably a religion, The ECUSA is more of a lifestyle choice. No need to throw the B-Bomb.
The fact that Danforth is an episcopal minister, as well as a republican without resolve is entirely congruent with the nonsense that he is spewing.....
You absolutely crack me up.
If those exact same things were said about Catholicism, you (or some others) would absolutely be in a rage, with the words "anti-Catholic bigot" sputtering from your lips. Perhaps even justifiably. That you have zero problem (in fact are in agreement) with referring to other denominations thusly (and I'm sure that, if pressed, you could list at least another half dozen or so denominations you feel the same way about) just doesn't sit right with me.
If there is a Christian God in Heaven (I'm on record here at FR as an agnostic), I'm pretty sure He'll not be asking your denomination when you get to the pearly gates. I think God's calculus runs a lot deeper than that.
Time to go give Ry Cooder's interpretation of Denomination Blues a listen.
