Democrats Voted Out of Baptist Church

Democrats Voted Out of Baptist Church

Aside from the absolute idolatry demonstrated by the pastor behind this, it's instructive to imagine yourself in that parish. Would you leave your church because of politics? Your party because of religion? The Boy Scouts because of your gay friend?

Maybe we should mandate that all organizations must stand for one, and only one, issue. Then if you're pro-woman, pro-choice, pro-gay and a fiscal conservative you could just attend four separate meetings a week, saving the other pro-choice folks the pain of having to face your views on homosexuality and money. Wouldn't that be a great way to let ethics and mutual learning flourish in the world? I'm being sarcastic.
