Baylor University Prayer Denounces “Straight White Men” FROM TODD STARNES: “God, give them the moral imagination to reject the old keys we are trying to give them to a planet that we are poisoning by running it on fossil fuels and misplaced priorities – a planet with too many straight, white men like me behind the steering wheel while others have been expected to sit quietly in the back of the bus,” the minister prayed.
Did you notice the cheers from the crowd?
A friend from Get Religion sent me a link to an exclusive story about the prayer written by Rod Dreher, a fine writer for The American Conservative.
“THIS IS APPALLING,” DREHER WROTE. “WHOEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT ‘STRAIGHT WHITE MEN’ WOULD BE DENOUNCED IN PRAYER AT A BAYLOR UNIVERSITY GRADUATION CEREMONY? I WONDER HOW MANY STRAIGHT WHITE MEN ARE BAYLOR DONORS? I WONDER HOW MANY STRAIGHT WHITE MALE AND FEMALE PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS SIGNAL, AND LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S CHRISTIAN COLLEGE EDUCATION?”

“White men built this country while black men were living in huts in the sands of Africa.”
Yup! And the progeny of Blacks who were “lucky enough” to be brought here as slaves, have had the opportunity to enjoy what the “white man has wrought here,” while their relatives still live in huts and hunt their food with a pointed stick in most cases.
“Leftist infiltration into the Christian Church is how they want to destroy it.”
So you’re saying that the divinity schools are no different that our public school system?
What a hateful, devil of a man!
” in the audience was some straight white male there to get his diploma. And he has to hear genocidal talk. “
Oh, for the opportunity to stand on the graduating stage and proclaim “to he11 with you, you fascist liar !!”
It’s not a Christian thing to do.
She should read up on it.
This entire line of rhetoric is absolutely bizarre.
It’s bizarre because, while social media is filled with anti-KKK posts and people stick ‘hate has no home here’ signs in their yards, the mainstream left (?) talk about whites using the same language they used to talk about blacks. Race is the pretext for attributing any and all errors, statements, behaviors, slights, etc.
It’s tribal. It’s medieval.
Great post which points to the hypocrisy of the God Business. My friend, a devout Christian, is in the process of producing a documentary exposing the Christian impostors. Getting such a project done is a hard process, but fortunately, it is moving quickly forward.
Given that this creep is a straight white male, why doesn’t he practice what he preaches and turn his church over to someone that isn’t a straight, white male?
Atlas is about to shrug and there will be very little sympathy for this Urban scum...
Deliver us from virtue-signalling heretical parasites.
Read What?
Performing healthy exercise is unChristian. What gospel says thou shalt not turn you body into a pretzel? Please be specific.
The Lord rebuke him
Did Baylor admins know he was going to say this? I guess good his bad theology was already known.
I don’t want my kids to attend that college.
“We are fully affirming of women in lay and professional ministry roles and fully inclusive of LGBTQ+ persons.
...We are affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Alliance of Baptists.”
“Theologically moderate, the CBF withdrew from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) over philosophical and theological differences, such as the SBC prohibition of women serving as pastors. The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship claims approximately 1,900 partner churches.” - Wiki
Explains why the pastor hates straight white men.
“In contrast to the SBC and other conservative Baptists, the Alliance has emphasized women’s ministry, encouraging women to seek ordination and senior pastorates, and encourages its congregations toward inclusiveness with respect to homosexuality.[5] In 2014, the Alliance joined a lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s ban on same-sex marriage, which is America’s first faith-based challenge to same-sex marriage bans....As of 2012, approximately 130 congregations are affiliated with the Alliance.” - Wiki
(Snicker, snicker)
“those who “run the God Businesses,” which is what churches really are”
Hmmm. My pastor makes a whopping $24,000/year. Don’t think he views the ministry as running the God Business.
“So you’re saying that the divinity schools are no different that our public school system?”
In many cases they are worse.
The Bible for starters, every “so-called professing Christian” should. She clearly doesn’t know the dangers of Yoga.
You asked for info - here ya go:
What is the Christian view of yoga?

Should Christians practice Yoga?

You might as well play the OUIJA board if you dabble in Yoga. It’s the same spiritual opening of doors.
“My pastor makes a whopping $24,000/year. Don’t think he views the ministry as running the God Business.”
Well turn on your TV, they are all over the place. Your pastor is in the minority today. Is that $24k and a free place to live? Free use of a car? A food allowance? Just wondering. And of course it also depends on where he’s located.
