3. Why ANY Progressive Would Continue To Support That Church...
... is completely beyond my ability to comprehend. Even if I live to be a hundred years old... I'll probably never understand why anyone would continue to support such a backward and regressive organization.

Whether it's active support with money, or tacit approval with their silence and consent... I find it ASTOUNDING that anyone who is genuinely progressive would self-identify with them (or even bother to defend them).
