So eager to stick to dogma, they are not willing to help out people in need. Sounds distinctly anti-christian to me. Wow – shame, shame.

The Church, often accused of supporting the hatred and even ethnic cleansing in Bosnia (at least shielding some of the military on the run and inciting fundamentalism), is no less hateful to the LBGTQ community. In fact, AP reported (don't have the links anymore) that it was the Serbian orthodox church behind much of the anti-gay, anti-pride rhetoric last year. sigh.......
