They are self serving word twisters, and disregard much of the bible. It would be rightful for you to be angry at them. Heck, IM angry at them. However, dont brand the vast majority of loving Christianity (more commonly in protestant Christianity) like this church simply because they call themselves "baptist."
If you would like I could post some scripture that does show jesus' love?
It's true not all Christians follow this fanaticism, BUT the same messages that fuel their stupidity are the same ones found in your bible. It's nothing to do with pegging all Christians in the same group as these idiots, fact of the matter is the bible speaks for itself on its violence and disgust, the bible is no better than these idiots:
"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
No thank you, I know that any positive biblical quote you post I could counter with double if not more quotes calling for murder, condoning rape, slaughtering innocent children, reducing women to mere property etc. etc.
