I was going to post a sarcastic remark about how the only dumber thing would be the gambling that will inevitably arise. Having googled beforehand to make sure, well, you are right. It is indeed the stupidest thing:

Amen.

There are other denominations that are much more closely aligned to the points of disagreements discussed in the article. It seems a bit oniony to read people upset that they are not treated as being fully human because an organization's official stance is these people are not capable of the central functions associated with the organization. Yet, the same people refuse to make a change and deny their own agency. What are they waiting for? It has been over 2000 years, and the Church is not going to change.

The people seem to think that when they get to the Pearly Gates St. Peter is going to say to them, "You believed all the right stuff, sought penance, and walked in faith, but you spent Sunday mornings in the wrong building. Sorry, it is off to Hell with you."
