Lois, the radical homosexual activists rewrote the DSM for the American Psychiatric Association, and with terroristic threats, made it cave in and accept it. Now it has spent twenty years rewriting the Bible via "reinterpretation," and the message to the Christian faith is "cave in to us, or else."

Whether the CofC is run by homophiliacs, or simply weaklings who caved has become immaterial. The CofC is dead to the Christian faith. It only has the word "Christ" left, because the name "Jesus" had become offensive.
