"Wasn’t my entire post correct?"

It infers an incorrect notion

"Also, wouldn’t the Southern Baptists, be the largest single Baptist voice?"

That voice would represent considerably less than half of all Baptists in the USA.

"I don’t recall anyone ever saying that Southern Baptists made up the majority of Baptists.

But the implication is made, even as you seek to suggest it in this last post, that the "voice" of the SBC carries some authority for the bulk of Baptist peoples in the USA, which should not be implied, simply because it is not true.

"Southern Baptists seem to be the biggest Baptist voice in America though, and they seem to be very conservative."

The SBC should just speak for itself, and not as having any overreaching voice for the greater number of Baptists in the USA.

Conservative? Well . . . ???? One reason that the independent Baptist movement exists, and the reason that so many on the Southern Baptist roles act as independents and don't support the SBC Cooperative Program is because the SBC "conservatism" is just such a loose "conservatism," always on the verge of liberalism.

LoL, You obviously have some burrs under your skin about Southern Baptists, that makes you want to construct something that isn’t there in my post.
