Southern Baptists target porn, sports betting, same-sex marriage and 'willful childlessness'
The nation's largest Protestant denomination will ask its members to approve a resolution calling for a reversal of the Supreme Court's landmark gay marriage decision.
I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.
The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.
The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they'd kick their teenage kids out of the house. They're divorced now.
support policies that promote childbearing.
...like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?
The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!
Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven't had any more children. If I can't have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won't put my wife's life at risk for one more child.
Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the "moral majority" required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren't prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.
It's Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you've got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.
I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that's not what these people are advocating for.
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
"We are miserable and we want you to be too !"
They're not miserable though, these kinds of sentiment are just cope. We have to stop reading things that appeal to our feelings and desires, that's how we got in this mess.
They're generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.
I don't think there's any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They're trying to make the world as "happy" as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they're too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.
Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.
Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.
Any birth control
I'm getting a hysterectomy next month and I'm pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Gtfo with your logic. We don't want your kind here.
- Jezus, probably
Because the law doesn't matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.
"Willful childlessness?" Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?
Lol, you don't have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don't want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they'd take that as the compliment it was).
Thanks for quoting this. It makes way more sense than the way I first read the headline as "Willful childishness."
It means getting an abortion when your pastor rapes you.
That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can't just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I'd say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else's lives
We all generally let them because we don't like confronting people in public spaces because everyone is too insecure about social perception.
Inscribed on their swords and shields are "Won't somebody please think of the children!"
Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I'm rollin' around here.
What are they gonna do? Check if you're having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you've had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin' donkeys.
edit: Small gubment.
Ban birth control in your area.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn't even stop the riots, they'd probably join in.
I hadn't considered that though in fairness. It's just such a crazy notion.
Oh. I guess I read that wrong as "willful childishness" and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.
To be fair, that would be completely on brand for them
They won't care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their "power".
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
Look at captain obvious over here!
I'm kidding you a bit, but seriously, you're just restating the problem.
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
Dancing, you left out dancing and.. fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.
Yeah, I was going to list a lot of above knee-height clothing items and got lazy.
Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let's party!
(I've been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)
Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some 'reformed' asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you're worshiping the Devil. They're devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.
Their god killed everyone who wasn't on the Ark. It's not them doing religion wrong; it's a severe case of religion.
Nah, the devil is chill. They're a Christian cult.
Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.
That's only because they don't have the religious law in place yet.
Fully agreed.
They're retched people.
I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about "family".
It's as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought "we can't say that out loud, it's clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?"
Yep exactly.
Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It's all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. "Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?" "What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?" "We're going to Aruba this summer and we're going to think about homosexuality"
thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.
As someone who left the Southern Baptist cult as soon as my brain developed, this is nothing new.
hey, I target porn too! Lots and lots of porn!
Can't wait until they all burn in hell.
It's people like them that make we wish I believed in Hell.
Please spend all your time on sports betting. Let Them Fight. Let those two rapacious vile Industries go after each other.
As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.
Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.
I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.
They go against porn but not raw dogging to hash out clones for the glory of the empire. Wonderful.
Sorry chuds that's not going to cure your incel problem. You can't suddenly make people produce future generations by banning what you don't like.
Broken clock, yadda yadda...
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means
I know what I'm about.
the sports gambling is getting out of hand, yeah
Who cares? Protestants are heretics who will burn in hell anyway. Because god hates them. Not that I'd give a fuck but it seems they do. 😁
Damn Christians, they ruined Christianity!
