I thought the issue was homosexuality, or something. This is a fundamentalist church, right? Are liberals pretty well-known for their fundamentalist church organizations?
Yes Dan, the Bible can and has been interpreted in many goofy ways. Your use of the term "elite" for example. That's a term that has been inserted into political propaganda as a way of painting liberals with the brush of arrogance. But......the group that Jesus most vociferously decried was the Pharises. The Pharises were the church leaders. The ultra-conservative group of the time. The group that attempted to enforce their narrow interpretation of scripture. Nowhere near "liberal." The more appropriate label would start with a "c." We've been over this before. Here:

One more remark that appears to conclude Jesus was a conservative and I'm going to exhume that thread. Jesus was the anti-conservative.
