From the Pope thread...looks like this post works here,
too.
All religions are being co-opted by leftists. Some are just more vocal about it. When other religions start sounding like Unitarian Universalist Church doctrine, there is a problem.
To all those who see people leaving any denomination as being a "quitter", I ask you this.....
What makes the MAN at the front of the church any better at understanding God, than the honest MAN sitting in a pew listening?
Organized religion is about a POWER STRUCTURE, hence the Left is ideologically bound to corrupt it, as any power over the masses that isn't theirs must either be destroyed or taken over.
ETA: An honest man does not need a church, when he is open to the ways of God. I have come to detest modern churches of any and all denominations. Either they are a business to make a select group wealthy, or a political mouth piece, with the secular political beliefs of the leadership being the guiding principle. Or a combination thereof.
