    I’m not religious in the slightest, but in my experience, them Methodists seem pretty chill. Worked with one to make their website a while a back and their pastor was the most laid back, easy to work with dude, loved everyone, black, white, brown, straight, gay, trans, whatever. I miss that guy.

      Catholic and Methodist are very different. Catholic doesn’t allow abortion but. Turn a blind eye to premarital sex.

      Be careful now.

      The methodist church had a schism recently. There’s the “United Methodist” and the new “Global Methodist.”

      The Global Methodist church was founded specifically to exclude gay people. They also have much smaller apportionments (church’s equivalent of taxes that the individual churches pay to the organization and is used for things like relief work), and allow the congregations to directly hore and fire clergy so the preachers can’t get all uppity and tell them not to be prejudiced or to be kind or welcoming to people who aren’t like you.
