In other words, your opinions and your words are useless

You are making a good point, and providing at least somewhat of a source for your assertion is great.

But your delivery sucks. You would be more persuasive with less abrasive.

Yea this was my first thought.

Anecdotally, in my area (rural, 25ish miles from a mid city) many of the old-school but liberal-ish protestant denominations seem to be withering… Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist etc.

The storefront Baptists are doing just okay, and the metal-shed-building mega or wannabe mega are booming. New Life etc

This is not a particularly great trend imo.

The ongoing schism in the Episcopal church, also not great.
