      The world is very quickly accepting "same-sex unions" and the upcoming generations are going to walk away from religions that continue to take this kind of stand against those who have, as religions like to say, 'same-sex attractions.' And they only have the power you give them.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1371426053319708681 …

      The Church will lose even faster if it walks away from its entire Scripture-and-tradition basis for legitimacy.

      If you believe in the divine nature of the bible, how can you change it? Orthodox Jews grow while other streams lose people to assimilation. I assume the same for Christianity. You may say you are not fully observant. Who is? But you can't abrogate laws you don't like.

      In a secular world, the people you'd lose over one unfashionable orthodoxy will sooner or later be lost over another one. The ones you lose because you stopped believing in your own creed? Those are the people you cannot survive without. Parties need majorities. Churches don't.

          I agree. Those who want to do things that violate the religion can do so but they are not entitled to then redefine what they are doing as not in violation of it. They can create their own new religion. Change the name. Don't call your religion (Judaism) or (Christianity).

          Or...adhere to what you are able to. Acknowledge what you are doing that violates things. Strive to do better. But don't change the religion. Nobody does things perfectly. Some do better or worse than others.

          Yes. It's created large riffs in a number of denominations. Quite a few Episcopal Churches have had some ugly "break-ups" & congregation splits for this reason.

          Contraceptives don't need majorities but pluralities help.
