Because of its history of slavery. Will call itself "Great Baptist Convention". Just when you think you've seen it all.

Maybe the name "Baptist" offends someone too. Just change it to PC convention.

I’ve noticed the male leadership in many churches have turned into soyboy pussies over the past 15 years.

Surprised the "southeastern" conference hasn't changed the name...

This seems way down the list of bad ones. Not only are they in 41 states, but they also explicitly named themselves "southern" as a pro-slavery, anti-abolition statement when they splintered from the northern Baptists.

They have been "woke" for like 25 years now - this isn't some kneejerk thing to what's happening in the immediate term.

I have no problem with this. Names change all the time.

Liberals destroy everything they touch.

Everything.

Good thing none of them touch a Bible.

The great thing about it:

quote:

The 50,000 Baptist churches in the convention are autonomous and can still choose to refer to themselves as “Southern Baptist” or “SBC.”


Also, do you know why Baptists don’t have sex standing up? Somebody might think they’re dancing.

The Baptist church is "destroyed" now? Snowflake much?

The Southern Baptists touched bibles...and decided that chattel slavery was a righteous way to be in the eyes of god.

I changed a few years ago. Haven’t been in a southern baptist church in 15 years.

That is a Babylon Bee story.

And it also appears to be true.

Apparently the Baptists are keeping in step with satire.

I know many on this board don't like him, and I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but Erick Erickson had a great piece yesterday or today about PCA and SBC and how Critical Race Theory is creeping into some of the churches, especially the ones run by younger pastors.

Very disappointing. I think that's an extreme course of action.

Wonder what's going to happen with that Historically Black University in Baton Rouge?

That's okay. I've dropped the word "Baptist" when describing myself, because of the religion's shitty history of teaching lies, and so many of them being shitty, awful hypocrites, so we should be about even.

True. It's also scary how many 'churches' have even abandoned the teaching of the Gospel. You would expect that to be a basic tenet but many have either skipped it altogether or perverted it to something that brings butts into seats with no concern for their souls.

Very few churches have ever actually followed the Gospel in practice.
