I was visiting a UMC today and this court decision came up for discussion. It seems the pastors can’t afford to take a stand, one way or the other, as either way, some in the flock will be offended and leave..

Do UMC congregations have male preachers anymore? The UMC churches I've visited in recent years all had lady preachers, dolled up with more robe, ribbon, and tinsel than the pope himself. And the favorite theme seems to be "rainbow" colors. What would John Wesley do?

Then those pastors care more about good opinion than about
“The Way., The Truth and The Life.”

Well, maybe it is folly. I’ve spent ten minutes searching scripture for anything that says Huffington Post authors should be burnt at the stake. It doesn’t seem to be there, yet that really seems like the moral thing to do. Since its not there, I guess it should not be done.

Being a Christian is SO difficult. You can’t just get your morals from any cat or goat you find in the alley! Unless you are a Methodist bishop, I suppose.
