The laity is evil and corrupting!!!! God have mercy on the poor pastor who is led by the sheep into sin!

He didn't accuse pastors of racism.
We're all prejudiced to some extent, and it doesn't have to be against skin color - it can be against social class, lifestyle, etc.
The point Prax was trying to make, if I interpret his post correctly, is that some pastors consider saints to be in another social class, thereby creating a prejudice.
However, I won't argue that point with you, will you answer my other question?
And by the way, you don't need to call me Rev. Phelps, I'm no longer in the ministry.

Isn't the answer obvious?
Post about it online.

You were taking it out of context.

Oh, ok, well I appreciate your honesty.
So, if you had a disagreement with a saint, and they felt they had been done wrong by you, you would have no problem with them coming on AFF and airing the entire situation?
