More absurdities.

Not really, Harry.

I have a friend who is a pastor of an old line denomination who's
beliefs have been steering towards social 'gay rights' for some time.
He doesn't believe in 'gay marriage' but stands on the core of 'man
and woman'. However, he is afraid that if the deciding powers of the
church's national, or state (or even regional) council says he must
perform same-sex marriages, then he feels he will be forced to abide.
OR, he feels that there is a chance that he could be civilly charged
in a discrimination suite, maybe lose his retirement and/or possibly
forfeit his ordination license to preach in that denomination.

Seriously.


The folks on the other side of that know what they are after, they are
just not honest enough to face it up front...


Face what...that you shouldn't be discriminating against gays? If you
work for a company and it sets a policy that applies to the company and
is legal and you don't like the policy, your choices are simple...either
go along or get out. Is there something about being an employee of a
church that allows you to thumb your nose at church policy?
