<< The problem with Protestant churches is that they've been taken over by liberal Democrats. Every single thing the Democrat Party believes, they believe. Being pro-choice, having no problem with Partial Birth Abortion, and ignoring the Ten Commandments have turned off decent people. A lot of people are looking for churches that actually follow the Ten Commandments. >>

You are painting with a very broad brush. I can't speak for other Church's, but what you said is not even remotely close to true in my Church.

I can't speak for other [Protestant] Church's, but what you said is not even remotely close to true in my Church.

I'm talking about the Mainline Protestant churches, like the Presbyterian. The Presbyterian Church is not against Partial-Birth abortion.

Presbyterian Church(USA) medical benefits plan coverage of abortion

No exclusions for any abortion, for any reason:

The PC(USA) medical benefits plan, which is mandatory for all installed pastors, lists thirty limitations and exclusions from coverage. Abortion is not among them.

Abortion for any reason, at any time during pregnancy, is a covered service of the denomination's plan.

The coverage includes partial birth abortion; it includes abortion by means of chemicals, such as RU-486; it includes abortions for minor dependent daughters with no requirement for parental notification; it includes no requirement for medical necessity.

General Assembly Council Executive Director John Detterick, when he was President of the Board of Pensions--the PC(USA) entity that designs and administers the plan--said, "The simple fact is that the medical plan pays for elective abortions as ordinary medical payment."

It seems like when I hear the issue of people leaving the church talked about on christian radio shows there is someone who says in response: "are you kidding me we have 3 services the parking lot is full and if ya wanna parking spot you gotta go to be there by 9:30 etc". But alot of people are leaving and i have to believe that part of it is because people are just gonna feel left out in the mega-church structure. If a person has no real close friendships in the church eventually they will probably just fall away and one day kinda find it hard to come up with a reason to get all dressed up on sunday and go to church and act the way your suppossed to act when one goes to church. Just a thot!
