Beleivers and discrimination

[AdamEve]

I wonder how many beleivers agree with discrimination of women and homosexuals as practiced by church. Those that do not agree but still support church how do you feal about it. I wonder if such beleivers would withdraw their support church would change its retorics in no time. Church most important belief is the one in money and it will not secrife it for any other that is currently preaching.

 

[javajo]

I wouldn't support a church that discriminates against anyone.

I have never been to a church that discriminates against homosexuals nor women.

How did you come to that conclusion? Or what do you base such an accusation on?

 

[ChristineES]

I don't agree with discrimination, period.

 

[Man of Faith]

Everybody discriminates, don't we discriminate on who we want to marry?

 

[Madhuri]

Believers in what? God? Christianity? Any religion?

I personally disagree with the discrimination against women and homosexuals in all religions that show such discrimination.

That may be true, but we don't generally treat those that we don't want to marry as 2nd class citizens.

This pretty much.

 

[Breathe]

I agree with Madhuri and ChristineES.

Say what? We don't answer the door for them, don't answer the phone, defriend them on facebook, make anti-stalking laws so we can have them arrested if they come to our work. If they threaten to commit suicide we still discriminate against them and don’t marry them. We avoid them at all costs, stop going to places they are at, won’t let them hug and kiss us. I’m sure they feel terrible.

To discriminate means to treat differently. You certainly have been to a church that treats women (i.e., no ordination) and homosexuals (i.e., no marriage) differently. You just think the discrimination is justified, like it's justified discrimination not to hire men as surrogate mothers. There's no question that not ordaining women as priests is discrimination since it's differentiated, categorical treatment; the only question is whether it's justified.

If a white person operated a business and never hired any black people, claimed that black people are automatically unqualified solely because they're not white, and then claimed they "didn't discriminate against black people," you would rightly call them a liar and bigot.

But when the all-male clergy operates a church and never ordains any women, claims that women are automatically unqualified to be priests solely because they're not men, you claim they "don't discriminate against women."

Really?

Even non-believers?

Especially non=believers.

Discrimination.


I'm just saying.

It depends upon how you define discrimination. Some Christian denominations will not ordain women, and will not ordain known homosexuals. In addition, I think that some denominations that allow known homosexuals to attend their churches will not allow them to become members. However, they will still take their money.

Really?

Catholic church teaches women have different vocations and homosexual marriage is sinful.

Much different then racism.
