Maybe in your church but I haven't heard this message when I went to Catholic Church. Perhaps this was just your experience. Interesting you use the term "flock" as if the parish blindly follows this request of more money.

YOU are a prime example of someone who quotes the bible but has never read it, because if you had, you would never make such an outlandish statement. GOD was intolerant, and he continues to show his intolerance to sin everyday in this God lost world we live in.
If the poster is looking for a liberal church, go to any Presbyterian Church, I know of none more liberal, they even allow lesbians as pastors. And while your at it, by accepting this, see how fast you get to heaven with the rest of your liberal ideology and disobedience to God. Let me guess, "but it works for me" is you attitude? I hope to God he allows real Christians to watch on judgment day as his casts all of you phony's into the Lake of Fire...I really hope and pray for this one moment of "I told you so" euphoria!

Ever notice at the very mention of the word "church" or "Jesus" the atheists and liberal humanists jump all over screaming bloody murder - but let any person of faith dare to question something an atheist or humanist claims to value then the person of faith is "intolerant" and the atheists are being persecuted? Quite an interesting phenomenon. When I take a sociology class - I think I will do a study on it.

It's interesting the perception you hold. When I attend my Unitarian church which has members from each of the groups you mentioned, plus many more, church, jesus, god, & God are discussed. Obviously if you go to some churches you'll hear the word Jesus alot more, but it's there.

What experiences are you drawing from?
