Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.
It’s very difficult to progress as a nation when you have millions of people who refuse to enter the 21st century.
It’s very hard to moderate a religion when everyone with a functional brain leaves…
Which should be obvious, everytime someone leaves a church because it’s too extreme, it gets more extreme.
It’s like how neoliberals coming to the Dem party made it shittier and got us modern Republicans.
You’re definitely right about that. I have to say I like what this Pope is saying, shame they barely listen to him. But that’s Catholics I guess, still.
And if he had turned away because the church was more extreme than he was…
We’d be worse off.
Instead he became the fricken Pope and moderated on of the world’s largest religions.
That is great, I would love to see similar movements in the Evangelical and Baptist faiths here. What about Islam who is moderating that?
Are you advocating that atheists pretend to believe…?
Yep.
My good them, they’re trying to get us back to the 19th century.
