So do I. When I moved here in ‘83, I could not shop on Sunday, could not beer at the corner and watched women not being able to vote in church issues. I was told that it was too bad that I was of the Lutheran faith because only the “southern baptist” were going to heaven.
It is a big river, we are all are swimming upstream. I refuse to accept the concept that “southern babtist” are the only children of God.
Blue laws were once throughout most of America, and pre-date the Southern Baptists. They were still here when you came to Texas because it is so hard to repeal old laws under the Texas constitution.
I have been a life long (66 years) Southern Baptist, and I have NEVER heard anyone say that we believe that we are the only ones going to Heaven.
Women have always been equal in church business voting matters.
I think that you just have your facts wrong or a bee in your bonnet about Baptist.
