Good news, xjcsa. The 40 people who signed this statement speak for no one except for the 40 people who signed it. It has no bearing on Southern Baptists at large or any indivitual church. The major media amplified the statement and mistakenly portrayed it as representative of 16 million Southern Baptists.

True enough. But it's sad that the President of the SBC jumped on board this crap. He's been backpedaling...sort of...but he says he still stands by the text of the Declaration.

Anyway this is one issue that I'm happy to go to war over any chance I get.

The president has no authority to make statements on behalf of anyone other than himself. The messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution on Global Warming in 2007. But even that resolution is not binding on any local church. Find the 2007 resolution here:

I'm really concerned that now that Dr. Rogers, Dr. Falwell and other's that brought the SBC back to their roots are gone, we are going to see a much more moderate leadership.

Hopefully, Dr. Land will help to keep the boat upright for a long time.

Some one who he trusts should get him straightened out on this globaloney nonsense, he has too much influence on Southern Baptist preachers and the 16 million SBC members to go on unknowingly spreading the global warming lies.

He has probably never heard the other side of the story. You know, the side that isn't hysterical and isn't lying though it's teeth about man's microscopically tiny role, if any, in atmospheric change.
