Glad I'm agnostic.

The Anglican Church is busy tearing itself apart - or trying to avoid doing so - over women bishops and homosexual priests. This highlights how far out of touch they are with the real world, and how far they are away from the basic values of the Man they profess to follow. Most of the Church's hang-ups over sex stem not from anything Jesus said, but from the writings of Paul (who probably never knew Jesus personally) and Paul had pretty extreme views on the subject - like in a perfect world nobody should have sex at all, and marriage should be seen purely as the lesser of two evils - i.e. a prophylactic against fornication! Isn't it ironic that a Church which has supposedly grown up around Jesus, who by all accounts was a very inclusive person, should be so intolerant and exclusive.
