it demonstrates just how low some people will stoop when honest, reasonable debate is going against them.

It also shows the frustration of people having their beliefs ridiculed by the forcing of an immoral person down their throats, as their leader in things spiritual. The test will be in the church schism coming next.

"It also shows the frustration of people having their beliefs ridiculed by the forcing of an immoral person down their throats, as their leader in things spiritual. The test will be in the church schism coming next."

After a lifelong commitment to a religious denomination, I stopped going to church about two years ago because of this factor. My Christianity is perhaps stronger than ever in my "one to one" relationship with God but I could no longer endure the hypocracy I saw. I know it has always been around but I just think it is rampant now. The church I attended was a member of a conservative association but those in charge seemed to be building a social structure endorsing their very secular personal aims in life. In addition, they coddled and promoted like-minded individuals in the management of the church. This was the lay leadership. Two pastors left because of the problems. The church has lost it's mission and it's way. If I had my way, our family would be very careful in giving money to the church. The response to this should be that people stop supporting these churches. Let them fall of their own decadence and then start over.
