Southern Baptist "morality" unzipped

[Cyrano]

In nearly 300 pages, a third-party investigator has produced the Warren Commission report, the 9/11 Commission report, of Southern Baptist Christianity. And the scale of malfeasance is truly shocking.

At issue is sexual predation by Southern Baptist pastors and the further abuse of victims by indifferent and hostile church officials. According to the “Report of the Independent Investigation,” credible accusations of sexual abuse that came to Southern Baptist leaders were routinely ignored to avoid legal liability or were referred back to unprepared local congregations.

Survivors’ calls and emails, the report asserts, were “met, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling, and even outright hostility.” When victims organized to draw attention to their suffering, some church officials treated them as instruments of Satan, intent on distracting the church from its real mission of evangelism.

6. its time to stop the special treatment of churches

no more tax exemptions. Id go even further. start treating them no different then cities treat "adult entertainment". limit them to isolated areas. strict zoning rules.
at least adult bookstores don't hide what they are. start liiting churches to the outskirts of town. mandatory separation from schools and other places children congregate.

7. Part of the problem is that some states are "owned" by the church

8. Porkey's always comes to mind the holier than thou and the KKK

9. I've posted it many many times, but here it is again.

Evangelicals don't love Trump in spite of his violence towards women, they love him because of it. They worship the fact he's been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, they think that's the natural order of things, where a powerful man can rape and assault sinful women with impunity, because that's what they think all women deserve.
