Zone1 Should the Southern Baptist Church pontificate on moral issues ?

[Tommy Tainant]

Given the well publicised cases of child abuse in this organisation should they really be commening on moral issues ?

Not just commenting but trying to dictate social policy.

Wouldnt they be better advised to ensure that children are protected in their churches before commenting on other issues ?

Not least because they lack credibility.
Gay marriage is not a problem and the majotity of americans support the right to love and live as you please.
Does a pressure group have that right ?
Especially when their own conduct is open to question.

They have as much credibility as any religious organization. You just don't like it because they refuse to subscribe to the woke agenda like some do.

That isnt a high bar.Religous extremists should have no say in secularlife. Any religion.
Certainly not cults that seek to curtail freedoms of fellow citizens.
Think about it for a second.
A group of people are telling you to live by their beliefs. That is intolerable.

Your opinion is duly noticed and dismissed. They have every right to petition the government just like anyone else. Just like all commies, you hate differing opinions. I find it funny you didn't mention Muslims. Their beliefs are more extreme than Baptist and they are affecting governments all over the world.

I did say any religion. I guess you missed that.
When they are basically ridden with paedos their opinions should be discounted.

I'm curious as to why you you don't raise hell about the Muslim community ? Baptist may not condone homosexuality, but they don't kill gay people.

Baptist don't do honor killings either.

Why haven't I heard you rant about the Muslim grooming gangs in your own country ?

You stupid idiot, that's an awfully broad brush to be painting 13 million people with.

I condemn all rapists. That isnt complicated. I would suggest Saudi is a prime example of a theocracy. Is that the kind of society you want ?

Im not sure what you are driving at. It seems like you condone savagery because other religions do it. Why dont you address the issue ?

Or non-religious organizations. Should schools still be teaching children with the multiple cases of teachers banging their students?

I think the american version is not christinity. Its based on self righteous cruelty.

It's just a click. They want to determine in-groups and out-groups. It's lost all meaningfulness of spirituality.

And I am a practicing Christian who has served in church leadership for the better part of a decade. The church is dying under the weight of losing people so it shifted to prioritizing itself as a political and cultural click over the message of personal salvation.

They shouldnt be imposing beliefs.

The woke movement is the new Inquisition, we already have it.

Nope, woke is imposing leftist orthodoxy on others via bullying and violence.

You mean clique.

Anyway, yes, mainline Protestantism is lost. I note with interest you identify your Christianity as serving in church leadership, but not your belief and dedication to Jesus Christ.
