   I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

     @fesshole I don't know how it works in the UK, but here in the US the popular churches are the ones where you don't have to sacrifice anything to be a good person. The hatred you feel for people who don't look like you, think like you, or behave like you is justified and God hates them, too.

     @fesshole This is _exactly_ so many people look down on religion.

     If you won’t say stuff because it makes people unhappy, they’re not real beliefs are they?

     So what’s left?

     @fesshole You are a Vicar; the people's connection to God. You have a duty to guide them, because without the Holy Spirit, they might err. If your 'congregation' do not listen then it is they who err, not your failure. You only fail in not preaching the word.
