It took me less than 2 seconds after going to the website of the so called "Religious Institute", the organization responsible for the study mentioned in the article, to see what they are up to.

I'll bet it was this pic that clued you in...

Anyway, in the report as described by the article http://www.statesman.com/news/local/not-enough-sex-talk-in-churches-or-seminaries-233513.html it seems they are criticizing churches for not doing enough for LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) persons, rather than saying that these churches don't talk enough about the sexual aspect of the husband/wife in a normal heterosexual marriage.

LGBT persons would be better off joining a church more freindly and accepting of them such as the MCC or Unitarian churches, rather than trying to get get the more conservative traditional-family oriented churches to accept them.

Spiritually, it would be better for them to accept Christ as their personal savior and repent. Christ welcomes all that desire to come to him and repent of their sin. He saved the adultress from stoning, but then told her to go and sin no more. For those who define themselves by their sexual choices, it's not about acceptance of them as a person. It's about acceptance of their sinful lifestyle. They want all Christian churches to discard biblical truths so as to suit their choices regarding sexual activity. However, true bible-based churches will not even discard biblical truths when it comes to heterorsexuals in the case extra-marital heterosexual relations.

any decent church should not be accepting of any kind of mental perverted illness except to help them and see their ways back into normal society.

the homosexuals have gone after the church and the military as those two institutions have stood for morals and tradition, a back bone of this country.
the pervs hate it and thus they go after them, they know they can’t win so they join it trying to make others believe their crap
it’s like on here wiht some perverts who come on and try to make others think they’re normal

they’re not and what they do to each other is not normal
