Fantastic! They're hastening their own demise. I would love to see several major denominations collapse during my lifetime. McArchons, the lot of them. Let people practice their faith in the greater temple of the cosmos, and follow the religious law written on their hearts and minds.

I'd like to make Mrs. Caskey a nice cup of tea, or take her to lunch. She sounds pretty awesome.

That seems rather more Phariseelike than Christlike.

McArchons. I think you just made my morning. And I agree with your conclusions as well - let them exclude and judge and hasten their own inevitable obsolescence.

See: Evangelicals & fundies of all stripes. These people would be shunning Jesus if he didn't get a haircut.

shit. I can see where this would be good. I think we need community acknowlegement (and help) for things like DV, addiction and child abuse.
with forgiveness and help. Call a church member if you are about to lose it on your kids. Invite the pastor over to talk your drunk and angry husband down from his nasty power trip.

But contradicting the preacher is a sin? Could you get any more transparently facist/megalomaniacal?
Fucking Puritans. Acting like middle schoolers is not helpful to anyone.
