What I said regarding scripture is true.
My point is that we've seen fit to offer the right of congregation to those who are divorced and remarried even though it strongly contradicts a direct statement by Christ.
Clearly a more direct threat to the "institution of marriage" than is gay inclusion although I generally agree with the evolution of what we do- even though I've known more than a few real rounders who've sat happily in the pews with their Nth wife or husband. I'll let God sort that out.
In my relatively small circle I also know or know of more than a few divorced people where it came about because their spouse discovered their true orientation and left for a same sex partner. I don't know how that process of discovery came about in any of those cases but think that some human hurt would have been avoided if they'd been more free to go toward their orientation to begin with.
That's all real world stuff.
BTW, I won't try to place an explanation on this but among religious groups Evangelicals have the highest divorce rate and mainstream Protestants, Mormons and Catholics are also relatively high.
Lowest are Jews and the self described non-religious.
