I don't seem to remember the Bible complaining about dripping wax on ones partner, or flogging them, and don't really understand what business it is of the authors to crab about this sort of thing.

Jesus made a whip and drove the money changers out of the Temple in anger, you really think He'd be OK with the sort of sick sexual workshops we see above, in the church?

I don't think he'd be terribly happy with Bingo in the church either, to be honest. Or the fact that a group I belong to plays Unreal Tournament in one of the classrooms, on the third Saturday of every week. Yet, the Church is allowing these things. If you don't support it, then tell your Church you don't support it. If you can't get them to listen, then attend another Church. I do see where you are coming from, however. The impression I get from the article, however, is that the author of the piece has problems with any of these acts happening ANYWHERE for ANY REASON (like when he makes unrelated toss off lines like "Much of this information is available on the Internet!"). I have a feeling he'd be pissed off if these workshops were being held in a secular space, or in the privacy of peoples homes. If that's not the case, and his only TRUE beef is because its in a church, then I have less of a problem with the article.

It seems to me Churches are going to run themselves they way they are going to run themselves, and the only thing you can do is leave if you don't support what they do. After all, won't God eventually be the one to punish them if said Church displeases him?
