anyone care to venture a theory as to why the Church is facing so many challenges on so many fronts?

THe teaching of Christianity and Islam are seriously flawed in so far as these spiritual scallywags keep spreading bad karma and getting off the hook through invoking spiritual technicalities.  How's that Brad? I'm not perfect If I go against the Dharma I will say so...and avoid hypocrisy. A gay chap fell in love with me once and it was really hard for him to take that I wasn't interested...it got to the annoying stage eventually where he just became a bore. But don't we all at some point...oh shit here goes...Brad take it easy now
