" For what it’s worth, I have attended a United Methodist Church for the last 18 years or so, where I teach Sunday School..."

and, for the record, do you also teach them to silence people who have escaped from cults, to ascribe bigotry to refugees relating their traumatic experiences, and shut down discussions of the doctrines and historical evidence of the damage done by this so-called "church"?

do you also silence ex-Moonies? ex-Scientoligists? ex-Muslims?

frankly, as aperson raised in this cult, ordained to the priesthood, president of their teacher's quorum and preparing for my mission when i left, the gall of a sunday School teacher posing as the defender of the rights of a cult so destructive, is nauseating, but not a bit surprising...

i don't give a damn what jersey you wear, sir, you are on the opposite line of scrimmage from the victims of this cult that know it just a bit more intimately than you...and we will not be silenced.

I have not “silenced” anyone, and I won’t be silenced either. There are always many ways of saying something, some persuasive, some offensive.

There are at least TWO streams in METHODism. ONE of them is VERY homo friendly.
