It is more moral to not be a member of any religion that endorses an abomination.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
It seems that churches are no longer a safe place to take one's family
United Church of Christ= Wolves in sheep's clothing
Who in the world is the "United Church of Christ"?
Never heard of them.
What's their membership? These guys aren't anywhere near being "mainstream", are they?
It goes with the news behind the following.

Jesus said: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6
the synod ? did they steal that from Earth: Final Conflict ?
Are they going to rewrite the script of 'Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, and do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife.'?
Does the church preacher still have to have a valid marriage license from the local or state gov. and if this is so, couldn't the local or state gov. take away the preacher's license if they refuse to marry any couples other than a man and a woman?
Are these people insane?
'In another daring move, the Synod declared all 'gods' equal, effective immediately. The announcement was made after an exhaustive sixty-minute study of ancient and contemporary pantheons, pseudo-religions, cults, and whiskey bottles.'
'A spokesgod for the group said, 'It was long over-due, and it will put an end to those silly arguments by those who think their god is bigger than anyone else's.
What do you expect from a crowd which doesn't require its preachers to believe that Jesus is Lord.
Akin to a giant bungee leap off the lip of a 500 ft deep volcano with 800ft of bungee
The United Church of Christ does not have to abide by Jesus's words because they are not Christian. This is the same bunch that is debating whether Jesus was God. They are in fellowship with the Episcobaalians and ELCA "Lutherans", none of whom should be allowed to label themselves as Christians. They are, in the words of the immortal Flip Wilson, members of "The Church of What's Happenin' Now".
Barf to all this nonsense.
