South Carolina’s Southern Baptists Vote To Call Fags Names, But Insist They Mean No Harm

Lumping in The Gays with gambling, the South Carolina’s Southern Baptists, led by Dr. Jim Austin, last week approved a resolution encouraging pastors to continue telling parishioners being gay is a sin but offer them a shoulder to cry on.

Among eight resolutions passed at the 190th annual meeting in Columbia, the pious voted to “uphold the biblical standard of human sexuality against all onslaughts” while also requiring believers “to love and show compassion toward homosexuals and transgendered persons.” (Bisexual folks, apparently, are out of luck.) The SCSB also wants members to call their lawmakers and tell them “gambling can lead us to misuse our time, talents and resources” and that “legalizing immoral activities changes the legal consequences but does not remove the harm.” I’m actually not sure which that last quote refers to: the gays or the gambling.

      Why the fuck are conserative such damm busy bodies? Why must they continue to stick their noses into other peoples lives?? If you don’t want to gamble, don’t leave the people who do alone…….If you aren’t Gay why should you be the least bit concerned with what the fuck we do in our bedrooms???

      “Uphold the biblical standard of human sexuality”??? Do they mean Sodmom and Gomorrah, or Jesus cavorting with a prostitute.

      There was some pretty wild sexual stuff in the Bible. I wonder if any of these crackers have ever read the book they spend so much time yapping about.

      Christians are ghouls who fetishize torture and engage in ritual cannibalism. But we should love them and show them compassion.

      Just so proud to be a gay SC Baptist. It’s hard not to run away, but then we couldn’t widen the minds of those around us.

      The Southern Baptist cult also supported slavery and segregation.

      @Brian: How do you reconcile your gay superiority with the homophobic heretic gentile cult you belong to?
