Even theological "authorities" on god cannot come to terms about "the rules" and agree upon interpretation. If you cannot even agree about the demands of god within your own house how can you even pretend to have any authority to describe god and interpret your own scriptures to others?

I also notice the worry over finances as interesting. I see this as yet one more bit of proof of the commercialization of religion. Seems to me that with church organizations acting like businesses then they should be taxed like them.

Amen.

Oort has spoken the truth. Aces beat me to the punch-line. All that's left is to now LAUGH MY ASS OFF!

AMEN to Oort!!

It always amuses me when people (including ministers and priests) try to act like anti-homosexuality is a key part of God's word. Sure, a reasonable person reading the Old Testament might conclude that God is a little annoyed by homosexuality. But there are so many more references to social justice than homosexuality, even in the OT, that it can hardly be construed as a central tenet of the faith.
