You misunderstood me. That the discussion of whether or not to allow homosexuals to practice their sin with church affirmation is on the table, and that they're actually voting on it, means you've already lost. The fact that the UMC has already voted 5 times on this over a couple of decades means that it's a rotting corpse.
Our tradition requires votes on everything. The fact that it keeps losing is meaningful. The people have to really be against something for it to fail 5 times in a row.
