Amazing how far a little logic will go in picking apart an argument.

Mohler for President! He's too smart for that, though.

We as Christians must be in obedience to the scriptures, not to personal feelings or emotions. Just cannot pick and choose which verses to follow and which to ignore. A sinner I be, but by the grace of God, a saved one.

By 'Divine Command' homosexuality is a Sin. And the penalty for homosexuality will be eternal torment in fire. It is blatantly obvious that the 'Word of God' commands all Christians to believe this. But many don't as they choose instead to simply pick and choose what they will and will not believe. The fundamentalists will continue to press their case, but I believe to no avail with 'Contemporary Christians'.

In my view, the more aggressively fundamentalists take their stand, on this and other issues, the more losses will happen more quickly in US Churches, both protestant and catholic. Being a secularist, of course that is fine by me. The trend appears it will continue in the US, away from dogmatic Religion and toward secularist/humanist, the same way it has in Europe, but the US has a lot of catching up to do to get down to the low percentages in Western European countries that identify themselves as religious - now well below 50% in some countries.

Perhaps that is what bible refers to with sayings like "separating the wheat and the tares"? Also strange that you only tend to see the west as enlightened somehow. Its revealed between the lines of your writing.
