Southern Baptists End Disney Boycott
What's not said here is that the boycott was a dismal failure, even among their own brethren who continued to go there on vacation.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Southern Baptists ended an eight-year boycott of the Walt Disney Co. for violating "moral righteousness and traditional family values" in a vote on the final day of the denomination's annual convention Wednesday.Unfortunately, these folks consider any rhetoric that doesn't pronounce it's good to beat the holy shit out of a gay person as "too accepting of homosexuality".
"We believe for the boycott to be effective, it had to have a beginning and an ending," said Gene Mims, chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention committee that put the Disney resolution before some 12,000 members at the meeting.
SBC delegates also approved a resolution that encourages parents to investigate their children's public schools to determine whether they are too accepting of homosexuality.
I'd love to hear what Jesus thinks of fundamentalist; I suspect He doesn't like them one damned bit. All that intolerance and hatred seems to disagree with His teachings, you know.
