Organized religion (church) is imperfect because of the humans involved. But without the humans, there is no need for organized religion at all. It is frustrating to deal with, especially in a situation where one expects more acceptance and progression (such as UCC). And it gets tiresome to have the choice to accept imperfection (at least we have civil union, at least we have some churches that seem to accept GLBTs, at least we have blah blah blah) or the choice to accept nothing (we have nothing). I don't have the answers tonite but these posts are contemplative for sure...
