What a megalo-maniacal heretics! Both Carter and BeelzeBubba.
To call oneself a Christian does not make one a Christian.
Jimmy and Bubba can be seen as disastrous abominations!
They hate Jews too!!
But I don't think Americans are THAT stupid to ever allow these two boobs to set up a church.
Life long Baptist........ has been visiting a Methodist Church for the past 8 months. And this is part of the reason why..........
The Southern Baptist are the second largest church in America behind Catholics, and that doesn't count the millions of other Baptists.
There are more Southern Baptists in the U.S. than there are Jews in the entire world.
In the media the Southern Baptists almost don't exist, except for an occasional negative story.
When the media needs religious reaction they don't go to the largest Protestant church in this Protestant nation, instead they get a Priest, a Rabbi, maybe some small church leader like a Presbytarian, and now sometimes a Muslim.
One that antisemitic and claiming that "Jesus is the son of God" will depend on what the meaning of the word 'is' is!
[Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have proposed the establishment of a broadly inclusive alternative Baptist movement to counter what they called a negative image of Baptists and to address poverty, the environment and global conflicts.]
It's already been done. They call themselves "Unitarians"
Bill Clinton, Holy Man.
The endorsement of Bill Clinton is enough to completely discredit any religious organization. The same applies to Jesse "Love Child" Jackson.
I am not a Baptist, Southern or otherwise, but I'm laughing hysterically at Bubba trying to use his "moral authority" to define a religious organization. I think if I was a Southern Baptist I'd be laughing just as much.
As for JC the Carpenter, any man who would sit next to Michael Moore on national TV is not a man to take seriesly. I don't think many people are fooled these days by his Elmer Gantry routine.
AND.... “This is an attempt to bring people together...Clinton said,
Don't you just loathe lying hypocrites?
Morris H. Chapman, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, said that Carter’s concerns about negative perceptions of Baptists ring hollow.
“He has been one of the most vocal critics of Southern Baptists, using ‘fundamentalist’ as a pejorative and drawing a caustic comparison between Ayatollah Khomeini’s rise to power in Iran and the resurgence of conservative leadership being elected in the SBC,” Chapman wrote to Baptist Press.

Yeah, Jimmah would know all about THAT, now wouldn't he? :p
This is just part of their "divide and conquer" strategy. They know that the demoncrats hold on power is tenuous, why? Because people of faith unite to try to keep a moral order in this country, and it ain't with them. They know of the power we wield at the ballot box and whatever they have to do to keep congress and gain the white house, they will do. Check out what they are trying to do to grass-roots issue advocacy by proposing the new law (Reid) These groups would have to "register" with the fed. govt. before they started their grass-roots efforts on anything (ie., miles and miles of red-tape, govt. monitoring of their activites--all in the name of stamping out "corruption")
These power hungry bastards DO NOT care about anyone but themselves
One senile and one bastard, bastardizing a "religion".
I thought liberals believed in Separation of Church and STATE. I guess they have been lying all along. Imagine that.
Um, there's already an "inclusive", ultra-liberal Baptist group: they're called the American Baptists. If they're not "inclusive enough, go join the Unitarian Universalists, as already suggested.
This has been coming for a long time. I have been warning my leftist friends who are constantly freaking out about church/state separation that they need to be more careful of the left, than the right on these issues.
It is one thing to have a church support certain governmental policies. It is another to have politicians establishing religion.
Said another way: the problem is not when religion and religious people influence government...the problem is when politicians influence religion.
You mean (gasp) we can.........dance in public now?
Don't groups like the Baptists hire people like America's Presidents to represent them in the media? I guess that even though these two had twelve years to do the job, all they did is drag the Baptist's reputation down with them.
My Grandmama had it right when she noted that the most prominent member of a group forms the image of that group in everyone else's mind.
I hate the politicizing of faith. I hate it when conservatives do it and I especially loathe it men liberals do it.
When faith becomes a means to an end it is no longer faith it is a political mechanism. The meaning of faith is faith itself.
