Homosexuality might break up the Methodist church-apparently they are going though some discussion/dissent/debate over the topic. Putting aside my personal feelings on the topic, I can see why churches struggle with this issue. The bible is clear on homosexual actions, and a Christian church has to do some pretty complicated footwork to make homosexuality acceptable or moral.
Before I go any further, it needs to be said that just because you think something is immoral doesn't mean you wish harm upon someone and yes, we are all sinners, every single one of us. Some traditional Christians (some, not all. Some) seem to think Homosexuality is a more serious sin while they ignore their own pride, arrogance, cruelty, etc. It isn't of course. Sin is sin.
I lived up north when Gene Robinson was elected. The media of course embraced his election as bishop and anyone who didn't also accept it was labeled has homophobic, bigoted, etc. It's far from the truth of course but the media is so biased it's impossible to expect decent behavior from them when asked to cover Christianity in an objective way. The Episcopalian church has had branches split off over the homosexual issue, and the Methodist church will as well. This is the beginning of the end to the second biggest Protestant church in the country.
