No way would Quakers go for gay marriage.

Shakers, maybe.

The shakers were a celibate religious sect. Men and women lived a communal life in seperate dormitorys. If any of them were married it was before they joined the church. As far as I know they never performed weddings. The shaker religion is virtually nonexistent today.

Absolutely not Shakers. They are sworn to celibacy and are a community of definitely unmarried individuals. Very devout, from what I've learned of them, and cleave unswervingly to the clear teachings of Christ. They are also very industrious and skillful. I wish they were not on the decline, if not already extinct in their purest form.

All liberal religions eventually oppose Biblical teachings. It's inevitable.

My thought too.

I also never imagined the Mennonites would go for gay marrage either, but I had to attend a funeral in The Rainbow Mennonite Church of Kansas City, and they weren't celibrating the Biblical rainbow.

I was raised Mennonite, and it's stunning how far they've drifted in the 20 years since I left them.

Ninty percent of churches today aren't following the Christian doctrine.

LOL...and we saw what happened to the Shakers...

I could never understand a culture that said “We aren’t going to allow anyone to reproduce”

Uh, hello...
