    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.

                    To mine, me. Jesus Christ, how did you see this going? You are going to convince me that they aren’t foaming at the mouth homophobes by trying to find some other religion that is even more so?

                    You can’t bullshit me on this. I have been around and attended Baptist services throughout my childhood. I know what their stance is on this issue because I have seen it. People who openly call gay people slurs I won’t repeat, who joke and celebrate HIV.
