"Just because it would be wroong to prefer one sin over another does not have anything to do with fairness"
So I guess you're now disagreeing with the retired chaplain in addition to virtually 100% of Virginia Methodist ministers (only 20 out of 601 voted no) who voted to fire the pastor in question. The argument is not about the "truth", it's about applying the truths that the Church teaches to ALL people. In this case, it was applied selectively to one prospective member based on his sexual activity. If you can't see the wrongness of the pastor's action, then perhaps you need to pray on it.
Nor do I compare and contrast in this case the ministers actions with the homosexuals actions as if they are in competion to determine what truth is. As I stated, if there are two wrongs there are two wrongs...
As to the 'selectivity' charge you keep positing -where is it stated that the minister gave preferance to one persistent and public sinner of a different 'flavor' over another? Objectively, the homosexual is in error -the minister however I do not know has done what you accuse him and premise your at best subjective argument upon regardless how the 'vote' resulted and why the vote resulted... If you have some source of information other than what I have seen that backs up your claim regarding just what the minister did 'wrong' feel free to post it.
And Oh My Gosh, a whole bunch of Methodist ministers couldn't possibly be wrong! I guess the New Testament needs to be changed to suit the Modern Methodist Ministers.
