Southern Baptists Overwhelmingly Call For A Ban On Gay Marriage
Southern Baptists overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on gay marriage — including a call for a reversal of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 10-year-old precedent legalizing it nationwide.

Consenting gay adults marrying, big problem.
Child brides, no problem.

1. These are retrograde dimwits looking for simpler times

That they can wrap their heads around.

[Buddyzbuddy]

2. Simpler times for simpler minds.

3. Panty-sniffers are awfully interested in the personal lives of total strangers.

Never understood why they can't just mind their own damn business.

9. Get a load of this guy,...

* A Deputy Sheriff (former) in the detective division,

* He is also a pastor at the All Scriptures Baptist Church in Tennessee.

Pastor Fritts says that Gays, Lesbians, Bisexual, and Transgenders are freaks and should be executed.

From an article written in the New York Times - by Sandra E. Garcia.

(snip)

Mr. Fritts is also a detective at the Knox County Sheriff’s Office. His sermon prompted the Knox County district attorney’s office to examine cases that Mr. Fritts had worked on as a detective.

(snip)

A Tennessee pastor who is also a detective said in a sermon this month that people who were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender were “freaks” and “worthy of death,” comments that have prompted prosecutors to review cases he has investigated.

In the sermon, delivered on June 2, the pastor, Grayson Fritts, also called for the government to send a riot team to a Pride parade scheduled for June 22 in Knoxville. He said L.G.B.T. people should be arrested, tried, and if convicted, executed.

11. Simple solution if you are straight and OK with being straight don't marry somebody of your own sex.

I solved my “gay problem” years ago and that is I don’t have sex with men. Why do I think
that these Southern Baptists have big time same sex attractions?

[Ocelot II]

12. Exactly. It's really simple.

Don't have gay sex and don't think about other people having gay sex; and if you don't approve of gay marriage, don't go to gay weddings. If you are spending a lot of time thinking about gay sex while claiming to disapprove of it, you probably have issues.

4. I Call for the End to the separation of Church and State

Deploy, in force, the Assessors. If Churchs want to involve themselves in the state then time to open up the coffers. No exceptions. If a church wants to advocate the hate of US citizens than the Church will pay for the “honor.”

[Buddyzbuddy]

7. Thank you, I've been saying that for decades.

[B.See]

5. Translation: They now believe

they have free rein (i.e. "liberty," in MAGAese) to openly be the hateful, bigoted bstrds they ALWAYS were.

[Bread and Circuses]

6. Better to Ban all Southern Baptists

[lapfog_1]

8. we should tell them no problem

you won't have to gay marry anyone you don't want to. Problem solved.

Other than that.. STFU and leave other people alone.

[Buddyzbuddy]

10. Absolutely!

[Skittles]

13. the ultimate child groomers

FUCK them and their bullshit "faith"

[ImNotGod]

14. Maybe compromise, ban christofascism all together in exchange for shipping them all to russia

or hungary. I'm sure they would be much happier there.

[KentuckyWoman]

15. My advice to Southern Baptists

is don't be in a gay marriage. Problem solved.

[Initech]

16. Fuck what they want!

Shit like this is why the fastest growing religion in the world is no religion.

[ForgedCrank]

17. This is

the most ridiculous fight ever.
Government shouldn't even be involved in saying what marriage is or who can do it. How they got their grubby fingers in that pie in the first place is beyond me.

[LastDemocratInSC]

18. The Baptists have also been getting the vapors about "willful childlessness".
