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.

        Kind of like Shia aren’t as numerous as Sunni. Surely there as no CIA interference…

            Well aren’t you clever you be able to extrapolate.

            Let’s spell it out for this who aren’t!

            Governmental leaders, local authorities and their legal apparatchik were around back then. And if they couldn’t intimidate the truth-tellers into silence, guess what else they did?!

              Local authorities and the clergy were the same people for most of the history you’re describing. Your statements make no sense. At least you were unjustifiably condescending about it though.

          Abrahamic religions have had these problems for millennia, can’t really blame the spooks for their misogyny. “Oh but the spooks made it worse!” it was there to exploit in the first place. Can’t spiral a religion on their own misogyny if they reject it as abhorrent to begin with.

            I can’t help it if people have no curiosity outside what was exploited and taught. I understand it, though.
