Stephen, you are an ignorant sinner!
Nevertheless, when you said this:
If this debate is all about how people read and understand the Bible,
as opposed to the specific problem of what people of the same sex do
with their reproductive bits, and whether they're then sutiable to
preach at us, then why aren't people demanding change or threatening
to walk out because of that understanding of the Bible? Yes, well,
they sort of are now, but still not directly.
I think you hit the nail right on the head. It would be a lot more
logical (and probably less hurtful) to have a robust and in depth
debate about the UCA's position on the authority of and interpretation
of the Bible. But being cynical, I suspect that will not happen because
it's harder than arguing about sex, and almost immediately in a
discussion about the Bible it becomes pretty clear that issues aren't
black and white. Whereas some people are able to pretend issues about
sexuality are black and white.
Cheers
