Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter needed their Southern Baptist credentials during their political years in order to boost their electoral appeal. Now the pair, who have both been publicly criticized in the past by Southern Baptist Convention leaders, are helping to move the denomination against life and family as they did the country.
At the Carter Center in Atlanta Tuesday, Clinton and Carter were on hand to announce a 2008 Baptist convocation which hopes to attract 20,000 Baptists from North America. They say it hopes to recast the Baptist image as less 'negative and judgemental'. The tentative date for the convocation is Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 2008 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

I have not decided which is nuttier! Help me decide.
I cant help but wonder how many Southern baptists are stupid enopugh to fall for the BS these two put out.
Here we have Jimmy Carter who almost crapped his pants because he actually got exceited over a picture of a naked woman and Bill Clinton who raped a couple and felt up dozens and tried to coerce how many more into having sex with him.
Are these black Southern baptists. If so I can understand it better. After all Clinton was the first black President and he and Hillary always spend the last year of their political campaigns in Black churches. Clinton owns the black baptists. Maybe Carter appeals to a few of the White baptists. The less intelligent ones.
Its a strange pairing.
Does this mean that there people who actually take those two seriously?
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

They say it hopes to recast the Baptist image as more Episcopalian.
I don't know if I would use "nutty" to describe either one of them. The terms I would use here would get me a few days off in the "penalty box."
That's my question.
About 14 members of the Carter Center board just resigned over Jimmah's latest book on Palestine.
Doesn’t the Bible have some rather nasty things to say about the fate in the after life of those who cause divisions in the church
My apologies for the doublepost; it's been a problem all day.
Satan has sent two demons disguised as flesh to mislead and test the faithful.
But maybe I am just over-reacting. NOT!
"Does this mean that there people who actually take those two seriously?"
Well, Hamas likes both of them and probably takes them seriously.
Given all the rifts in the Episcopal Church of late, I don't know if they want to be seen in the same light.
Interesting that you should bring that up...

Yep, and the Episcopalians are just about extinct b/c of it.
That is why I used that word plus my mom told me never to use bad language and I don't. She would haunt me from her grave if she knew I did that and that is no joke.
Thanks for the link!
