"...the methodists recently voted to allow gay pastors within their ranks. Can dubya continue to be anti-gay and remain in good standing with HIS church?"
Based on your view of churches it might make sense. It might pay to do a little study on the matter and see what biblical scholars have to say about various churches. Look up the word apostate for starters and it will take you to the seven churches and the letters written by Christ to the seven churches. All modern churches are born from the seven. If I wanted you to think poorly about something or someone would I give you the best references to check out or would I give you poor examples? With religon it is not hard to find bad examples like with most things in life. If you decide to base your entire opinion on bad examples on churches that have fallen away from the word of Christ have you put the best effort you can into making an informed decision?
I do not have a fondness of modern churches and the study of their doctrine is very important if one plans to join. Like anything in life you have to do your homework.
If one was to only taste fast food would their opinion on the cusine of the the world be valid? No but it's OK with religon for some reason. I think that reason is someone is looking for an easy out.
