Christians get on my nerves

It seems some conservative churches are reviving the old practice of shunning. The story in this posting is about a 71 year old woman in a Baptist Church in Allen, Mich. She declared the new pastor needed to follow church bylaws and appoint deacons. The pastor countered since there were only 12 members it wasn't necessary. She insisted. He declared she was not properly submitting to authority as the bible said she should and had her arrested, escorted out, and told not to return. This pastor said what a lot of conservative churches have been saying: not only should the church define morality, it must enforce it too. Liberal churches who preach acceptance are only leading their members astray. This story demonstrates that while 72% of Americans say a supreme being exists, the same number say the church is full of hypocrites and 44% say "Christians get on my nerves." When travel was limited a shunned person led an isolated existence and that was frequently enough to get them to reform. Force me to leave the church? I'll go find a community where I'm wanted.
