You Can't Reason With A Liberal

...nor can you expect any of their vaunted "tolerance" either, if you're a conservative.

But even the most patient have limits:

American Episcopal conservatives form rival province

Don't think this is just about gay priests and bishops. Conservative Episcopalians have watched for 40 years as liberals within the church have done everything possible to twist God's Word to fit their own beliefs. Some of the liberal clergy have even made statements denying belief in Christ's resurrection. AND, those individuals were not censured in any way by the church. So, at that point you have to ask, "So you don't believe in the resurrection, which is explicitly stated as part of the Creeds...how exactly do you claim to be a Christian, again?" For years, the conservatives tried to play it the Christian way, working with the liberals and talking and trying to convince their brethren that these viewpoints were in direct contradiction of Scripture. However, the liberals refused to listen, and still do, and instead continue down a path that puts Man into God's place (one of humanity's most common failings throughout history). This leads directly to my title for this post, of which this entire situation is yet another proof. America might survive and remain "united" even if the liberals do their best to run it into the ground, but when you're dealing with your eternal soul and your prospects for the afterlife, compromise of principles for the sake of unity can't work.

In any case, I bid a hearty welcome to the North American Anglican Province...it's about time.
