"Liberal believers are going to be the people who ultimately bring change to their own religions."

94. This is BULLSHIT

It is not fascism to ask people who give money and support to an institution that, to this day, tells women they are stupid and are not capable of holding political office (a paraphrase from the new guy) and who call homosexuality evil how they can find it within their conscience to do so.

If you were a Southern Baptist in the south in the 1960s and you supported a religious group that provided religious apologies for slavery and racism, and the internet existed back then, you would be hearing the same thing.

According to you, those people would also be "fascists." See how utterly devoid of truth your statement really is? See how empty your justifications really are?

You, apparently, have no idea what fascism is, just like right wing assholes who use this word to smear those who disagree with them.

The reality is that you nor any other liberal sitting in the pews is going to change the doctrine of the church until you boycott it.

This is the reality. THAT is what Gandhi and MLK taught. Boycott those institutions that perpetuate vile actions.

People who are not associated with the church are asking those who are - which side are you on? Are you on the side that support sexism and homophobia, or are you on the side of those who oppose these nasty, vile religious beliefs.

edited to add - but, of course, back in the 1960s, people would've also been told to shut up about the bigotry of the Southern Baptists because Democrats relied on them as a voting bloc then. plus ça change.
