13. We have a few haters in our church.

My wife helped organize a donation bin for a christian pregnancy center here in town. She overheard someone saying, basically, "Those whores don't deserve our help." And you call yourself a christian? In that one statement you sinned twice and made Jesus sad.

Fortunately, all of the messages are positive, we have quite a bit of a younger crowd who are more progressive, and it's an overall Christ driven congregation.

I hope you find something more suited to your beliefs.
