Seriously, why do they hate women so much?
Quote:Southern Baptist Convention weighs stricter ban on churches with women pastors
Southern Baptists are beginning their annual meeting Tuesday morning, where church representatives in the staunchly conservative evangelical denomination are expected to vote on a constitutional amendment that would formally ban churches with women pastors.
This will be the fourth year in a row that messengers, as the church delegates are known, are voting on an amendment regarding women pastors. The Southern Baptist Convention’s statement of belief, the Baptist Faith and Message, opposes women pastors. But its churches are independent and the denomination can’t tell them what to do.
But the denomination can exclude a church from its ranks, and it has already expelled some churches with women in senior pastoral positions. The currently proposed amendment would specifically ban churches where women have the office of pastor or are functioning as one, including “preaching to the assembled congregation.”
Southern Baptist leaders cite biblical passages they say clearly limit the role of pastor to men.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
