SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE…..

What part of that do you NOT understand, Southern Baptists ??

I am soooo sick of these "conservative Christians" thinking that they are the arbiters of truth and light for the rest of this country. And I am sick and tired of them using their "religious freedom" to force the rest of us to live the way THEY think we should. And I am REALLY disgusted with the fact that they continue to disparage the poor, make them jump through hoops for assistance, shame them for being in their poverty……all the while these same churches do NOT contribute one darn cent (by way of taxes) to the betterment of this country.

Everybody in the SBC should pray for the Supreme Court to decide THEIR way:

……….

God can turn the hearts and minds of the justices to do his will (Prov. 21:1). Pray for the Supreme Court justices, that they would be receptive to the arguments being made passionately before them.
God can guide the mind and speech (Exod. 4:11-12). Pray for lead attorneys who will be arguing on behalf of the states seeking to uphold marriage. Ask God to give them clarity and wisdom, for their arguments to be persuasive, and for God to give them favor before the justices.
God can give understanding to make sound decisions (Prov. 2:6-8). Pray for those who disagree with us, that God would help them understand and respect the opinions of those whose definition of marriage is grounded in the biblical witness……...

Did you get that last one about "respecting the opinions of those who disagree" with them? Oh, the hypocrisy doth the flow like wine on Communion Sunday.

Stop Pornography...Here's the App For That

Remember how the Repubs were bemoaning the fact that the Obama "machine" was all into that Twitter, Facebook, online campaigning and polling, and all that interwebby political outreach?

Seems like those folks need to do a little more research into that new-fangled technological stuff. The Young Guns of the GOP (who are by NO stretch of the imagination young guns....) may also need to work with the evangelical side of the party:

From the Church at the Mall website

"..... as now Mr. Dennis has made that call – while at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Houston this week – for people to destroy their computers in order to eliminate porn from their lives. To keep track of pornography elimination, Mr. Dennis has made available a special app for the iPhone and iPad…"
