Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.
oppressive banjo noises
Not surprising at all tbh
let’s not forget that the sole reason that the Southern Baptist Convention exists is because they wanted to keep black folks out of their churches. When the big Baptist association was taking a stand on civil rights, the scum bags that would become the Southern Baptists took their ball and left.
Oh no, it was way worse than that.
The SBC existed because Triennial Convention wouldn’t accept slavery. The SBC was formed to uphold slavery. They didn’t apologize as a congregation for their views until 1995. 150 years is a bit late to the party but it certainly helps inform why many of us aren’t surprised by this.
I could get behind the idea of banning churches (in general).
expected that sooner.
As long as the Bible remains the way it is, this will keep happening. And as long as churches keep propping up doctrines like sola sciptura and biblical inerrancy, modifications to passages in the Bible will remain a niche thing.
The amendment would tighten existing restrictions in the Southern Baptist Convention, which already has a faith statement opposing women pastors.
So no self respecting pastor, man or woman, would be caught dead being a member of the Southern Baptist Convention to begin with from the sounds of it. Seems like a good question to ask the pastor if they are a member if you are the type afflicted with religion when church shopping.
Everyone who’s been to a church knows how vitally important the speaker’s pennis is to the sermon.
Trad-wives speed running to Gilead
Recently came across articles and videos of women who are actively fighting to lose their right to vote (they only want their husbands to), so yeah, this tracks.
This is why we have to control the national educational curriculum on a national basis, and not allow backwards states to destroy the lives of their citizens by keeping them ignorant, just so they can control and exploit them. If they won’t properly take care of the intellectual well-being of their own citizens, then we will.
What’s the point of having two catholic churches? This is removing the SB’s only marketing niche.
Southern Baptists:
- full of pedophiles
- has women pastors
Catholic Church
- full of pedophiles
- no women priests
I vote to ban churches and all religious buildings.
Hell, ban religions. The world would be such a better place without the stoneage fairytales
I get the sentiment but this makes you as bad as they are.
How about “Don’t tell other people how to live their lives?” and we can all go do what the fuck we want on Sundays?
Personally I don’t mind them, I want them to pay taxes though especially the church itself. E.g. property, income(donations) and probably more.
Lets tax churches with more than 10 million dollars in assets.
Let’s ban all ideologies.
“ban pronouns” energy here
more like ban anything and anyone who isn’t a Nazi like “CanIFishHere”
Remember, the Southern Baptists split from the mainstream Baptist Church because they supported enslavement.
yep. it’s funny the comments here being all mad. like… you want a extremist/fundamentalist sect to what… be shockingly progressive on this one issue? kind of a silly expectation.
“Boys’ club votes to confirm that girls are yucky and dumb” is all I see.
