Dozens of Georgia churches split from United Methodist Church over LGBTQ issues

Yes ma'am!

Churches don't need outside influences to divide themselves. In 1961 the Wisconsin Synod Lutheran Church voted by a fairly decisive margin to split from the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church over what they called creeping liberalism after almost 90 years of cooperation. Today, compared to other Lutheran Churches, the Missouri is no longer considered particularly liberal

Yes God loves all that follow his laws. Progressives have been attacking religion for some time now. It is plain to see for me. We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

SFC (Join to see) The democratic party nor the progressive establishment are attacking fundamentalities of different religions. Younger Americans have been moving away from organized religion since the early 90's. Mind you we were still going through 12 years of the Republican establishment between Regan and Bush Sr. During that time. Gen X my parents generation slowly started fading away from the church because of the old up tight conservative values and conserative church. Being against all forms of modern music that they thought was the devil's music aka rock and roll. My generation the offspring of the boomers shyed away from the church because we were sick and tired of being told by our parents or grand parents we'd go to hell because of a certain choice we may make because we thought it was right. Our grandparents and parents were accepting of millennials coming out of the closet. I grew up in a very Baptist family in a very conserative county of New Jersey that still beats rid to this day. I attended churches every Sunday and Thursday Bible study as well. I walked away from religion when I was 14 the year my father died of pneumonia and my mother was struck with cervical cancer my father's death and my mother's illness happened 3 months apart. I lost my bestest friend to suicide that December. I was taught my whole life God protects and let's those of pure heart flourish. My mother single worked 3 jobs to support me and my older sister despite being 22 was in college not working. When she got sick I picked up 2 jobs while also going to high school. Seeing my mom suffering see all the hate in the world back in 2009 because Obama was elected in my county who went to McCain that November of 08. I realized there was nothing wrong with being Baptist or Christian it was the church and it's people that attended. I got tired of seeing myself and my family always give and give to support salaries of the pastor and his church staff and upkeep of the property that I realized it was all a scam. When I got into the army I became exposed other religions as a means to escape barracks cleaning duty. Every Sunday I'd watch and partake in different religions. As I grew older I became a deist and I still am one to this day. As I grew up in highschool our teachers weren't grooming us. They weren't pushing their beliefs on us. No one cared really about outside issues. All teachers created and open space for debate and when I mean open debate I mean open. We could say anything besides curses of course. I graduated 10 years ago. So I'm going to just say the hate I see from the different sides of church are really churches have been divided well since the 60's. They will continue to be divided. Religion is no longer a cornerstone for the public of the American culture. It may still be apart of your generations being a boomer. But going forward it will become a bygone relic of a bygone era. People will continue to study, pray, preach whatever but it won't be of one religion depending on ones location in this nation.
