Now Jar, you know darn well that them there folks aren't True Protestants (TM)......
"The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails." H L Mencken
I'm doing nothing but reflecting what is normally understood by Christians to define Christian churches.
Wrong, Faith. You are reflecting what is normally understood by conservative/fundamentalist Christians to define their own version of Christian churches. My father was a Presbyterian pastor, and had the question of same-sex marriage come up before he died in 1982, I am certain he would have thought deeply about it and then decided in favor of supporting it. Similarly to how he supported equal rights for black folks with his sermons. From 1957 to 1965 or so. In freaking Arkansas.
