Quote: .. my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service.

I like me some Jimmy Carter.

Better late than never, but it took him a long time.

That article is from 2009.

More than likely he probably seen what we see when we look at the baptist organizations and pretty much christianity. 

2009 is still very late in his life. He should have decided this when he was a teenager. In other words, sometime around 1940.

He could have but he didn't.

Carter is just another scripture cherry picker.  Only difference is, he is publicly changing his cherry pick list.

He ain't no different than all the other cherry pickin' christians that think they know better than Jesus. Hubris and arrogance ain't pretty even at his age.


PRAISE JESUS and may all his slacker enemies burn in the fiery lake of excrement forever and ever !!!!

We can hope that his being so public about his changing views inspires others to review their own bigotries.

And double down on STRICT LITERALISM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PRAISE JESUS !!!!

Don't hold your breath.  Since most Southern Baptists are social/cultural conservatives and vote Republican, this will strike them as just another dismissible liberal ploy.  As admirable a man (and ex-President) as I find Carter to be, he remains one of the conservatives' favorite whipping boys.

Southern Baptists are just as much scripture cherry pickin' slackers as the fucking Methodists.

Hell, SBs can divorce and remarry, and even serve Fig Newtons at the reception !!!

God damn the backsliding liberal cafeteria Christianity Southern Baptists !!!!  They need a good dose of Bible Inerrancy !!  Hey!!  You Baptists over there!!!  Yes you!!

SPIT OUT THAT GODDAM SHRIMP !!!!!!!!!!!


Jesus hates fucking shrimp eaters almost as much as those fucking fig eaters!!  And they would curry more favor in the eyes of the LAWD if they went out in their nakedidity than in those SINFUL cotton polyester blends !!!

OMFG !!!!   Southern Baptism is a CESSPOOL of SIN !!!!!!!!!

Good for you, Jimmy C, you're better off now

You'd be surprised how many women revel in their own servitude...and not in a good way.
