How are we to know who is in that group if we allow Sunnis into the U.S.? And I take strong issue with your comment on Baptists. i grew up Baptist and there is NO comparison as you suggest. between Baptist and ANY kind of Sunni Islamist. but even 99% of Baptist think the Westboro group is Baptist in name only Southern Baptist? Their founding principle was the support of slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an idea for you ichy. Why don't you come down to Argo 1st Baptist Church in Walker County, AL and sit next to one of the several black people who attend my church regularly, and ask them if they have ever been made to feel unwelcome, or like a slave (at any time) at my church. See for yourself what really goes on in a Southern Baptist Church before you go shooting out ignorant slurs. Your comments are offensive, ignorant, and over the line. Please think before you speak in the future. It doesn't matter what the Southern Baptist Church, or any other church was founded on; it matters what they practice and believe today.

Of course it is. There is no reason this should anger you so. It is a fact, not an indictment. I have spent more than my fair share of time in Southern Baptist Churches. Exacty! But, that was never the point. The point is, religion can be used for the purposes of furthering evil. It can, provide the cover for good people to commit horrible acts of inhumanity and, no one is immune. Therefore, we need to exercise caution in allowing ourselves to demonize a group or, allowing ourselves to become immersed in group-think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post may not have been indicting, but it did seem suggestive. Since I expounded on it and clarified that the Southern Baptist Church does not stand for slavery and discrimination any longer, then I'll let it go at that. Have a blessed day.

The defense of your Church is admirable. However, I would focus more on defending the principles of Christ. The Church is corruptible when we do not.

As I recall, the contemporary leadership made a concerted public effort to publicly repudiate - if not repent - the racial politics of their past.

True. I believe the SBC has, or has had, a black President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
