According to [https://culturewatchnews.com/millions-of-americans-might-switch-churches-after-what-one-denomination-said-about-abortion/ this], "the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, which is the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention just came out stating that Christians should not preach against abortion from the pulpit, on the street corner, or in bumper stickers or social media posts." That's concering! I suppose that the Southern Baptist denomination does tend to be a bit more liberal, but still... --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:00, 23 November 2019 (EST)

:I've never been a fan of the Southern Baptist Convention, largely based on their anti-Mexican, anti-Catholic xenophobia and racism. I suppose they will justify this stance based on the ''judge not, lest ye be judged'' standard to keep membership and revenues flowing in. And a pro-abortion (or let's call it, "more tolerant") stance would be in keeping with a negative stereotype that Catholics and Mexicans "reproduce like rabbits". So it's not really surprising.

::I suppose that could be. I've never been a fan of them either, but mostly because they seem to lack spiritual depth. They follow the philosophies of "What makes me feel good must make God feel good," and "Bring the world into the church, rather than the church into the world." Sometimes they also seem to push the "heath, wealth, and prosperity gospel." They are theologically liberal, so being politically liberal makes sense. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 13:26, 24 November 2019 (EST)
