    I am mentioning the church. He was a leader for a denomination of Christianity infamous for the degree of its anti-LGBT stances. Decades feeding the hate machine. And I bet you anything that today they those people who said a thousand good morning to him are happy that he killed himself.

    The final unavoidable conclusion of Christianity is to kill its own.

      I know you are, I’m simply asking you what the fuck that has to do with what I said.

      What an uneducated comment. Baptists don’t inherently mean Anti-LGBTQ, it’s a common low-church denomination which mainly subscribes to the doctrine of grace by faith alone and is characterized by the belief in credo-baptism. It’s got nothing to do with LGBTQ politics.

          You said Baptist, not Southern Baptist. They are a different thing.

            Jesus Christ you are something else. Fine citation needed that BAPTIST are pro-LGBT. There, can you do that now or is there some other dodge you would like to try first?

              Some baptists are pro lgbt. Some aren’t. The LGBT question doesn’t define what being a baptist is.
