Calling the global association of Baptists leaning too far to the liberals, the Southern Baptive Convention of some 16.4 million has broken ranks with them.
Specifically, the Southern Baptists - addressed personally during their convention for the third straight year by George W. Bush - say that global Baptists believing there is error possible within the Bible and that gays have a right to marry and exist is just unacceptable.
I keep wanting to make a joke here but there's nothing funny about this. Yes, I understand this is a very deep matter: personal faith. But to me, the Southern Baptist position seems to say that to love God, you have to hate just about everything except the Bible. It seems like a huge evolutional step backward.
