Southern Baptists were formed to use God to justify slavery. No surprise that they continue to be disgusting people.

This doesnt go far enough. They need to ban women and men!
Only spiritual entities that have ascended to a higher plane and propagate through dementional shifting.
Just like in the bible.
It should be only non-binary hermaphrodite asexuals allowed to spread the word of the lord, as they are the true form of the unsplit god.
Women constitute 50% of the population, yet they keep voting for conservative assholes that restrict their freedoms. Honestly as a man it just doesn't make sense
So many pick-mes among women who vote like this. They think they are different and will be seen as "one of the good ones" with special rights to be part of the "cool kid in-group" while the other side just thinks of them as useful idiots.
It's sad, women have a lot of power to change the world into a more feminist one, but choose this path. A lot of this conservative alt right guys see women as lesser people.
No surprise from the southern traitors and the baptist heretics.
let's not forget that the sole reason that the Southern Baptist Convention exists is because they wanted to keep black folks out of their churches. When the big Baptist association was taking a stand on civil rights, the scum bags that would become the Southern Baptists took their ball and left.
Oh no, it was way worse than that.
The SBC existed because Triennial Convention wouldn't accept slavery. The SBC was formed to uphold slavery. They didn't apologize as a congregation for their views until 1995. 150 years is a bit late to the party but it certainly helps inform why many of us aren't surprised by this.
I am sure they will realize they are making a mistake and apologize 150 years from now.
I firmly believe that a woman who is in her heart a deeply racist and hateful person should be allowed to become a SBC pastor.
Oh damn! My bad. I can't believe I was so wrong.
oppressive banjo noises
Not surprising at all tbh
I could get behind the idea of banning churches (in general).
As long as the Bible remains the way it is, this will keep happening. And as long as churches keep propping up doctrines like sola sciptura and biblical inerrancy, modifications to passages in the Bible will remain a niche thing.
Everyone who's been to a church knows how vitally important the speaker's pennis is to the sermon.

Remember, the Southern Baptists split from the mainstream Baptist Church because they supported enslavement.
yep. it's funny the comments here being all mad. like... you want a extremist/fundamentalist sect to what... be shockingly progressive on this one issue? kind of a silly expectation.
Recently came across articles and videos of women who are actively fighting to lose their right to vote (they only want their husbands to), so yeah, this tracks.
This is why we have to control the national educational curriculum on a national basis, and not allow backwards states to destroy the lives of their citizens by keeping them ignorant, just so they can control and exploit them. If they won't properly take care of the intellectual well-being of their own citizens, then we will.
I vote to ban churches and all religious buildings.
Hell, ban religions. The world would be such a better place without the stoneage fairytales
It would be exactly the same. If you think different you're just naive
Lets tax churches with more than 10 million dollars in assets.
Trad-wives speed running to Gilead
expected that sooner.
What's the point of having two catholic churches? This is removing the SB's only marketing niche.
Southern Baptists:
- full of pedophiles
- has women pastors
Catholic Church
- full of pedophiles
- no women priests
The amendment would tighten existing restrictions in the Southern Baptist Convention, which already has a faith statement opposing women pastors.
So no self respecting pastor, man or woman, would be caught dead being a member of the Southern Baptist Convention to begin with from the sounds of it. Seems like a good question to ask the pastor if they are a member if you are the type afflicted with religion when church shopping.
"Boys' club votes to confirm that girls are yucky and dumb" is all I see.
