I think this thread is a great example of why my generation is coming up anti-religious. What do we see religious people getting fired up about? Do we see them getting fired up about helping people? Helping the poor, other things Jesus taught about? Sometimes yes, but take a look at yesterday at Chick Fil A.
Probably their best day in business ever. Why? Because they wanted to revel in hatred for the gays.
The Catholic church had a group of Nuns who were driving around the country trying to preach the actual things Christ talked about, whether or not policies were helping the poor, helping low income families, and the Catholic Bishops opposed them at the guidance of the Vatican itself, because those aren't the issues that the Catholic church thinks are important...abortion and gay hating.
Say what you want about abortion, not trying to thread derail...but this is not how you do outreach to my generation.
Ties in closely to the article Strangesox posted.
