My wife pointed out that for years Perry has been bragging about how well Texas is doing. It’s hard to believe he doesn’t know that Texas will be the first to go down if he doesn’t stand up and do the job he was elected to do.

As for the Baptists, I’ll never set foot in another Baptist Church. (Or any other church) I know ALL Baptists aren’t involved but I haven’t heard any of the mega Baptist preachers condemning it either. I’ve been to several large Baptist Churches over the past few years. All of them with the SBC. Everyone of them had a huge room with Hispanics where the sermon was being interpreted. And I mean a huge room! I have to wonder if the American taxpayer didn’t build the facilities.

Over the years I’ve heard various theories about the anti Christ. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s not organized religion.

I think the problem is anyone can call themselves “Baptists.” For example, the “Westboro Baptist Church.” The question is whether this is a legitimate Christian organization, or has just highjacked the identity.

Baptist, Catholic... it’s the institution not the faithful.

No, but it is one of his four hidden dynasties: government, finance, education, religion.

Is this organization Southern Baptist or American Baptist? The latter is mainline.

You don’t have to have permission to use the name, “Baptist.” (i.e. Westboro Baptist) I’m guessing that the Baptist Child and Family Services organization isn’t affiliated with the So. Baptist Church. I’m guessing their leadership doesn’t want you looking to closely at who is in charge and what their political affiliations are either.

The Southern Baptists you mention are about 80% republican voters, no group votes more conservative.
