In a real sense - no matter what they profess - they do not believe that Man is fallen and must be redeemed.
Many of them have now embraced the Marxist perversion of marriage by the Supreme Court.
Their artificial, untenable pacifism produces a go-and-sin-some-more attitude in the name of being peaceful and nonjudgmental.
