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.
You can either try to meet people halfway, or you can be hostile to people. See which one works out better for you. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say not the later.
Why would you meet people who think a book that says slavery is OK and gay people should be stoned to death halfway?
Yes, the bible also says good things. That is an objective fact. But if I were to publish a book that tells people that we should love one another and also that christians should be stoned to death, would you meet me halfway?
You don’t have to do anything, but you’re not going to make a lot of progress being actively hostile to people.
Being hostile to a shitty book is not the same thing as being hostile to people.
I mean, it didn’t really work out for Jesus either…
