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.

    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?

        The billions of moderate Muslims…

        Like, you realize that there’s a lot of different types just like Christianity and they’re all over the planet, right?

        The vast majority are pretty chill.

        Hell, Iran in the 70s was super progressive until capitalist overthrew their democracy and installed religious extremists.

        Most countries ruled by Muslim extremists were put in place by “Christian nations”.

        Do you know anything about this?

            I should honestly copy and paste this comment in so many situations. A vegan flipped out on me yesterday for literally just challenging an absolute statement they made. I should’ve just responded how you did.
