Title: Sex abuse in the Southern Baptist church
Post by: dpareja on February 14, 2019, 10:54:17 pm: https://www.christianpost.com/voice/700-victims-of-southern-baptist-sexual-abuse.html

An investigation by the Houston Chronicle turned up at least 700 victims of child sexual abuse in the Southern Baptist church over 20 years, with at least 380 pastors, officials and volunteers credibly accused.

Sue them into nonexistence.

Pro-life types (the actual committed ones, like Catholics) get really uncomfortable when you remind them that Brown v. Board of Education and (especially) Baker v. Carr had more to do with the politicization of evangelical Christianity than Roe v. Wade ever did.

They get even more uncomfortable if you remind them that the Southern Baptist Leadership Conference had until (IIRC) 2002 language in its platform supporting Roe.

All dirty, all needing a clean-out and lawsuits.

Criminal charges, too, if possible.
