Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.
Southern Baptists were formed to use God to justify slavery. No surprise that they continue to be disgusting people.
This doesnt go far enough. They need to ban women and men!
Only spiritual entities that have ascended to a higher plane and propagate through dementional shifting.
Just like in the bible.
It should be only non-binary hermaphrodite asexuals allowed to spread the word of the lord, as they are the true form of the unsplit god.
Women constitute 50% of the population, yet they keep voting for conservative assholes that restrict their freedoms. Honestly as a man it just doesn’t make sense
So many pick-mes among women who vote like this. They think they are different and will be seen as “one of the good ones” with special rights to be part of the “cool kid in-group” while the other side just thinks of them as useful idiots.
It’s sad, women have a lot of power to change the world into a more feminist one, but choose this path. A lot of this conservative alt right guys see women as lesser people.
No surprise from the southern traitors and the baptist heretics.
let’s not forget that the sole reason that the Southern Baptist Convention exists is because they wanted to keep black folks out of their churches. When the big Baptist association was taking a stand on civil rights, the scum bags that would become the Southern Baptists took their ball and left.
Oh no, it was way worse than that.
The SBC existed because Triennial Convention wouldn’t accept slavery. The SBC was formed to uphold slavery. They didn’t apologize as a congregation for their views until 1995. 150 years is a bit late to the party but it certainly helps inform why many of us aren’t surprised by this.
I am sure they will realize they are making a mistake and apologize 150 years from now.
I firmly believe that a woman who is in her heart a deeply racist and hateful person should be allowed to become a SBC pastor.

It took them 150 years to say they were sorry the congregation was formed by people who thought other people were livestock. I would be shocked if they actually apologized for less.
Oh damn! My bad. I can’t believe I was so wrong.
I mean… they’ve done a FANTASTIC job on their PR campaign hiding that history so I don’t blame others for missing it. But I’ll certainly be the first one to point it out every chance I can. There’s a lot of terrible religions, and the SBC may not be the exact worst when Scientology exists. but it’s certainly up there.
oppressive banjo noises
Not surprising at all tbh
Everyone who’s been to a church knows how vitally important the speaker’s pennis is to the sermon.
I could get behind the idea of banning churches (in general).
As long as the Bible remains the way it is, this will keep happening. And as long as churches keep propping up doctrines like sola sciptura and biblical inerrancy, modifications to passages in the Bible will remain a niche thing.
Which is wild. Theologically, the Bible is equal parts history, allegory, and legal framework. Not everything in it is meant to be taken literally, or even treated as error-free, or even as a permanent and immutable institution.
Hell, it even has porn in it. Straight up, Song of Solomon is just the Bible’s center fold.
Remember, the Southern Baptists split from the mainstream Baptist Church because they supported enslavement.
yep. it’s funny the comments here being all mad. like… you want a extremist/fundamentalist sect to what… be shockingly progressive on this one issue? kind of a silly expectation.
Recently came across articles and videos of women who are actively fighting to lose their right to vote (they only want their husbands to), so yeah, this tracks.
This is why we have to control the national educational curriculum on a national basis, and not allow backwards states to destroy the lives of their citizens by keeping them ignorant, just so they can control and exploit them. If they won’t properly take care of the intellectual well-being of their own citizens, then we will.
I vote to ban churches and all religious buildings.
Hell, ban religions. The world would be such a better place without the stoneage fairytales
Lets tax churches with more than 10 million dollars in assets.
It would be exactly the same. If you think different you’re just naive
If Richard Dawkins thinks that his instance of Claude is sentient, then it just proves that no one is completely immune to this particular glitch in the human brain. We’ll find some other illogical fable to latch onto.
Personally I don’t mind them, I want them to pay taxes though especially the church itself. E.g. property, income(donations) and probably more.
I get the sentiment but this makes you as bad as they are.
How about “Don’t tell other people how to live their lives?” and we can all go do what the fuck we want on Sundays?
Just on Sundays sounds awfully regulated.

Step 1: Getting the religious to agree to this
Fun fact: You can be a moral person even if the other party isn’t!
Let’s ban all ideologies.
“ban pronouns” energy here
more like ban anything and anyone who isn’t a Nazi like “CanIFishHere”
