This. This right here is what I'm talking about. Pure and utter ridiculousness. The decline in participation is not about Joel Osteen. It's about you trying to tell me my gay friend is on par with a serial child rapist and murderer in the eyes of your god.
People are leaving the faith because it doesn't offer anything of value. The message is not about Jesus Christ saving people from their sin; it's about how people are basically good people who should just love themselves because God loves them just the way they are. If that's true, why does it matter if you go to church or read your Bible or obey any of those laws? What such a message does is ultimately turn people into Deists, which is what you find today where so many people believe in God but fewer and fewer people go to church.
It's certainly not a condemnation of homosexuality that is the problem, since homosexuality has been condemned for 2,000 years in the Church, and even longer than that in Judaism.

Except for the Catholic priests who were raping boys, as though that were okay. And the Catholic Church covering that up.

Yeah, I went to Catholic school so I'm well aware of that punitive, you're inherently bad and need God's forgiveness dogma, but I don't really believe it.
I'm a pretty decent dude and try to go right by people. I figure if I try to leave the world a better place than I found it, I'll be OK when my time comes. I don't need all the fire and brimstone to compel me to believe.
