I am SB and I wish that guy would just fade away. We are not electing a national pastor and just look at carter. He was SB, I think, when he was in office. I already sent letters to a few of our leaders so guess it is time to get my fingers in shape!
Definitely — what you said: “look at Carter”. And Clinton was SB, as well as Carter.
Pulling religion into this as a criterion is insane. The Founding Fathers didn’t want religion as a criterion. Why do so many of these people use that as the sole filter to determine an acceptable candidate? Talk about arrogance! Believing that they’re smarter than Washington, Madison, the Adams men, etc. Sheesh!
Russell Moore is a weasel. He is part of a group that took control of the SBC using a program called “The Great Commission Resurgence”. After getting rid of the “out-of-touch” leadership, the new guys headed in the direction of being “socially moderate” while claiming to believe in inerrancy. They argued that this is needed to get the membership numbers up, but I think a main reason was that they wanted “places of honor.” Don Wildmon has taken Moore personally to task for his views on homosexuality. I also understand that Moore was once a staffer for a Dem congressman.
