I have a problem with the denial of rights to anyone because of what it says in the Bible; this is part of why we're at the point we are now with the gay issue. The other part of course is the gay/lesbian tendency toward extremism.
My embrace of the Bible means that I don't have to condone or approve of it on a personal level.
In my case, as an Episcopalian for most of my life, I now have to face the task of leaving my church, and my first question is Where? A schism would make that choice much easier.
My next question, as I see the attacks on religion in general from many fronts, is Do I need a church at all? Because the unchecked movement toward a Godless New World Order may soon mean that churches will be banned, as they were in the Soviet Union. It's hard to imagine an America where you have to hide your Bible and attend church underground with someone watching for prowling jack-booted ATF agents.

It's hard to imagine an America where you have to hide your Bible...

It all began with the notion of "hate crimes".....and not that many years ago. These new laws seemed innocuous enough at the beginning, didn't they?

Yes! Whether church is banned or not makes no difference. God wants you to worship with fellow believers. You must be discipled.

I don't want to leave the Church, I do want to see that the Church is set back on the right path.

We have seen so changes over the last thirty years and some were good and some were bad. The latest is an atrocity.

How can we give up on the Church when she needs us now? She never gave up on us in our hour of need.

You may not have to actually hide it,but it may become difficult for you if you don't have a socially acceptable view of what it actually is.

God bless
