Now even the use of the word South is somehow bad? Silly cowards.
They might want to drop “Baptist,” too.
Too overtly Christian, doncha think?
Political Correctness will bring the Death of America!
Now even the use of the word South is somehow bad? Silly cowards.
It is not a “denomination”, it’s an association of independent Baptist churches.
They are world wide.
So, now “southern” has been added to the list of words that are to be eliminated? The goal is to criminalize non-PC thoughts.
The Cultural Marxist elites of all stripes are getting more and more open in their bigotry and slander against certain groups like Southerners (and conservatives, whites, straights, males, non-leftist minorities, traditional Christians, etc.). They want to turn being “Southern” into a bad thing because they are bigots themselves.
But they should not besmirch the word “southern”. They should not accept the slanders of their enemies.
They gave in to liberal bullies. That something as abstract as SOUTH was considered immoral ... is prove they’ve lost their way.
Year zero initiative continues with absolutely no pushback. Amazing.
To be fair, it’s not like there’s a significant Northern Baptist community like theirs...
In other news, the directions of the compass will now be called East, West, North and Black.
This is starting to annoy me the more I read it. Since when does “southern” mean “white”? Since when does “Baptist” mean “white”? Why would it even enter someone’s mind to think like that? When you see racism everywhere you look, the problem is in your own heart.
So he splc will now be just the plc? And the “poverty” part sounds racist too. Better just “lc.”
I actually thought this was Babylon Bee
....Leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention are steadily removing the “Southern” part of their name....
Then how can one tell the difference between the Southern Baptists and the liberal Baptists that are usually associated with the North?
No one should bow before “Black Lives Matter”! It is NOT a movement for “racial justice”, but a movement for communist revolution!!!!
How about dropping the Democrat party over slavery, the KKK, Segregation, Separate but Equal, voting rights of blacks in the South??
I dropped the ‘Southern’ also. Being a Baptist since cradle roll days, I also dropped the Baptist. They are nothing like the church I grew up in.
Reminds me of how the Campus Crusade for Christ changed their name to “Cru”.
The official explanation said that they do a lot of work outside of college campuses nowadays. But how does that explain dropping Christ from their name?
Sheesh. He may as well have thrown in "undocumented alien".
