Yep. But it’s nowhere near as common.
I know a door got nail holes in it.
Even Hegseth isn’t so stupid as to seriously alienate the Catholics. Far, far too many of them.
That was just an early prototype for Post-It notes.
Yes he is. It’s just not a priority yet.
The entirety of European religious history could have been altered if post it notes had been around in 1517. Damn things would almost certainly have fallen off and nobody would have noticed them.
Read somewhere that even on the old list of denominations, LDS was not preceded by “Christian”. No idea how to check that, but if true it probably just wasn’t noticed in the larger previous list.
I’m in the “I don’t give a shit what you say you are group, just be nice okay?”
Give it time. They will always need a new enemy to replace the ones they’ve done away with, that’s the nature of the beast.
For years we tried to warn them that separation of church and state didn’t just protect the state, it protected their churches as well. But they didn’t listen, and now they’re reaping what they sowed.
As I mentioned elsewhere, the sensible thing, if there must be a list, would be to have it by specific denomination, and reserve the “Christian” prefix for generic catch-alls like “-nondenominational” or “-evangelical” where the individual can’t/won’t point to a specific organization. But Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Pentecostal, LDS etc. just label it as THAT.
(But really, if they included barely Christian-adjacent JW’s and Christian Scientists under the label then how come not LDS? And how come they kept Quakers but dumped Unitarians altogether?)
Because Unitarians welcome gay people.
Don’t Quakers do as well?
My only exposure is that I pass a Friends school, which I think is run by Quakers. And 30+ years ago, I had a coworker who was both gay and Quaker. I don’t know if he was “out” to the Quaker community and in those days even people who were out, were very circumspect about who they were out to.
I plead ignorance about what Quakers believe.
Yes. Yes, they do. They’re also pacifists. I would think that a Quaker service member would be more rare than a gay Quaker.
Or a Quaker who ordered the carpet bombing of Vietnam.
I think Nixon was more Dick than Quaker.
Me too, but I like their oats.
There are as many answers to most such questions as there are Quakers. Liberal Friends Meetings are pretty universally welcoming. But among Evangelical Quakers, there is disagreement. I can’t argue their point, but I once heard one say that “people can be equal while also being wrong or in a state of sin.” :roll eyes: I can’t picture any Meeting reading someone out (sorta like excommunication) for being gay, but Meetings unfortunately do exist which refuse to marry homosexual couples. The Meeting I attend is welcoming.
I’m pretty sure this varies a lot by region and denomination, and runs the gamut from full-throated support for gay marriage to condemnation of any homosexuality.
I’ve known a lot of out gay Friends in the more liberal silent/no officiant Meetings.
