Unchristian Churches

Here is a posting listing many of the ways in which many institutional churches are not Christian. Alas, many readers interpret it (and comments prove it) that all institutional churches are not Christian and gays (and America as a whole) are better off not believing in such nonsense. Here are some of the crimes:

* Denying marriage to same-sex couples, thereby endorsing promiscuity.

* Relying on discredited science to justify their exclusion.

* Invoking flawed interpretations of selected biblical passages to demean gays.

* Remaining silent in the face of oppression of others.

* Using twisted logic, "tradition," and claims to family values to do their own oppression.

* Vilify gays to the point that the suicide rate among gay kids is many times higher than for straight kids and to the point that parents throw their gay kids out of their homes.

* Using gays as scapegoats for other crimes, including those of pedophile priests.
