I was raised Baptist. I just came to the conclusion that it’s all nonsense. Politically, I am very conservative, though more on fiscal matters than on social matters.
Well, what can I say to that except that some of the finest people (read: minds) that I (who tends theologically to RC) know just happen to be Baptists? (Or Calvinists? Or Anglicans?) What is the "nonsense," in your view, in their testimony of Truth?
It's good to be conservative on fiscal maters. But I don't see how that exactly gives you a license to be liberal on social matters. Indeed, it seems to me that the remediation (at public expense) of social pathology of one description or another is what causes the main drain on the public purse these days.
The challenge is to see the inevitable logical connection between the two....
Or so it seems to me, FWIW.
