In other words a silly group not to be taken seriously.

The real silliness here, sir, are you words. The Southern Baptist Convention does not speak for the individual churches that cooperate with the Convention, nor does it speak for the individual members who make up the local churches.

From time to time, the liberal faction of the Messengers (the delegates who are sent to the Convention by the churches) make a power grab, and then there is a scrap for a couple of years until the more conservative church members and churches are able to demonstrate the horror that the more liberal faction has foisted upon the Convention.

The Southern Baptist Convention is not monolithic. Mostly, the Convention is finally made up of the quiet church members who pray and want to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached--that is, Christ and Him crucified. They want to hear solid teaching and preaching, and they, for the most part, do not meddle in the politics of the liberal vs. conservative battles that go on, which are often poked into existence by the media and other liberal denominations who hate that the SBC is larger than their denominational body.

So before you go making absurd--REALLY absurd--statements such as you have, I'd suggest you get your facts together. Unless, of course, you're one of those independent Baptists whom God has appointed to be the Baptist conscience of the world.

Uh huh.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

I'm not a baptist but I was raise around them and went to their services. They are good, rock ribbed believers and this article shook me because they are the bulwark against the flood of godless leftist ideology. To hear their leadership crumbling to political correctness is a blow. A tremendous blow.

If this is not so, then the good brothers get to get a hold of their leaders and sit them aright. Because, otherwise its "Matthew 7:16-20"

I can’t speak for all Independent Baptists, but the ones I grew up around and am most familiar with, want anything other than to be the conscience of the world. They want to be separate from the world above most anything else, and have even come under criticism for remaining aloof from politics-they were never a part of the Moral Majority or any political movement, as such.
