a major rift in the evangelical force field.

[Ben Thomson]

The Southern Baptists have decided to keep teaching that the bible is without error in it's teachings. But they are also on the verge of getting out of politics. (will have to see that with my own eyes)...something about you get in bed with dogs you get fleas..' Much of the denomination’s establishment leaders, including its departing president, J.D. Greear, have insisted they can promote traditionally conservative Baptist theology while adopting a more welcoming tone on culture war issues, such as sexuality. They embrace the theological red lines drawn in the 1980s, when conservatives wrested control of the denomination in defense of the inerrant truth of the Bible. But they resist attempts to attach the denomination to Republican causes.

“Whenever the church gets in bed with politics, the church gets pregnant,” Greear said in an address to the convention Tuesday. “And the offspring does not look like God the Father.”....Southern Baptist Vote Signals Further Fractures in American Evangelicalism

Baptists are just as evil and corrupt as the Catholics..........they are a lot better at camouflaging their hypocrisy though.

I grew up Southern Baptist. The deacon had been in that church long enough to have molested two generations of kids. He died surrounded by his loving family, remembered by a congregation of weeping hypocrites.

Evangelicals are a political movement no matter how you cut it. Anyone who tries to go against that and restore it to a faith will lose. We seen time and again that the politics matter far more than the faith.

They can shoot a lot straighter though.I almost became Cathylick but Bourbon and Doritos beat the shit out of Saltines and MD 20/20

Remember Billy Graham declaring in summer 2012 that Mormons were good christians after all?
