I suppose since you lack an argument to counter mine, personal attack was the only arrow left in your quiver.
I'll toughen up, and you try and get smarter....then we will both be better posters.
Most of what you've done is insult me the last few times you've quoted me. I imagine you think you look smart and are the "winner" but comments I'm getting from others go to show that's another of your delusions.

No one wins in these things. At least I'm smart enough to know that.
What they are doing is making changes to keep membership ($$) up
if you believe that these scriptures are from god, then how the heck can they be changed unless GOD changes them???
Huh? Again, this is the Episcopal Church, which acknowledges that the scriptures were written by men, not God.
If keeping membership up is the goal, it's obvious that they are failing miserably, because if that's what they wanted to do they wouldn't be performing gay marriages or ordaining gay people and women or providing sanctuary to illegal aliens, right?
So maybe...they are just doing these things because they think they are the right thing to do, because it's not going to win any popularity contests with the fundamentalist and conservative churches. Crazy talk, I know.
Yes, I realize this is the A/A forum so any action by any church is going to be dismissable, and that's OK, but at least acknowledge that there are differences within Christianity, and within other religions for that matter. It's just factual.
Well I would suppose they would say that god is giving them the inspiration to change them.
They do indeed say that, although to have a god which changes its mind sort of flies in the face of having first proclaimed it perfect.
That particular attempt to explain god is another one of those "Dragon in my garage" style arguments where the deity's qualities are altered to fit any challenge.

Or would "he" just say my words were misinterpreted in the past?
