The Episcopal church is a modern day disaster and if breaking into pieces in front of its own eyes. Episcopal churches around the world are breaking apart from it and it is going the way of the do-do bird.

Gene is one of the biggest reasons that some of us no longer hold with the Episcopal church.

Homosexuals & “politically correct” leftists have basically destroyed the church.

Sad, but there you are.

I thought that in some states civil marriage was indeed separate from a religious marriage.

He’s a very busy little feller, attacking marriage from every angle he can find.

‘”The church is infringing on the secular society and trying to enforce its beliefs onto the entire culture,” he said.’

Actually Mr. Robertson, the homosexualist movement and its enablers started this whole fight by trying to change the legal definition of marriage in the first place in order to infringe on the religious society and enforce its beliefs onto the entire culture. The church didn’t start this battle. Your side did. Please be intellectually honest with history.

‘”If we can get these two things separated, we can assure every religious group, no matter how conservative, that they will never have to bless these marriages.”’

This sounds very nice but we all know how it will end up. Once marriage is legally redefined, the left will then use the government to persecute the church via lawsuits, revoking tax-exempt status, and worse if we do not endorse, perform and approve of unbiblical marriages. It’s not that our side refuses to “live and let live” and “leave you alone”. It’s that your side that refuses to live and let lie and leave us alone.

"The church is infringing on the secular society and trying to enforce its beliefs onto the entire culture," he said. "If we can get these two things separated, we can assure every religious group, no matter how conservative, that they will never have to bless these marriages."

Funny coming from him. His church is busy trying to fulfill the Great Commission inasmuch as it can spread its own brand of theology. And yet he is arguing that the very same Great Commission is oppressive to his way of life.

Marriage exists, historically, to guarantee the paternity of children. Same sex marriages are not productive. There is no concern as to parentage because everyone knows that it takes a male and a female to conceive a child. If he wants his tryst, then he can have it without involving the church.

He is right. The church should not be in the business of same sex marriage.
