re: United Methodist Church votes to allow gay marriage and gay clergy

If I'm not mistaken, these are US numbers only.

It’s a fact that the same percentage of abuse of children has occurred in Protestant churches, as a poster told you previously.

You mean the guy that said it is one thousandth of a percent? Check the link.

Are we supposed to give up on Christianity if that’s the case? Your argument would be leading to this conclusion.

That's an odd assertion. Give up on religion as a corporate business? Sure. I gave up on religion long ago. Religion is the kind of thing that condones and covers up child abuse. Religion makes it okay to persecute and even execute non-believers. Religion is what tells people it is their duty to fly planes into buildings and behead people.

Faith and belief in God and His Son Jesus, released from the man-made evil of religion, does not allow for such atrocities.
