Funny, when I wrote that I was in the middle of my full-time pastoral ministry. I was a middle school pastor at the time.
And as much as my faith has evolved, I still agree 100% with what I said in 2013. The Church has turned away so many people because it has chosen to attack their lifestyles while hypocritically covering up its own scandals and sin.
Jesus was an attractive person. Not physically, but because he totally shifted the paradigm of what it meant to love God.
