Southern Baptist

Ever since moving to the South my mother's been looking for a church home. I have refused to go with her, mostly because Southern Baptist scare the hell out of me. I personally would view going to church as a learning experience but the churches here scare me I'm not quite sure why.

Right.... it says "the real problem with Baptists is that they never quite seem to hold them under long enough."

Quote:A drunk man was going through the forest, one time, and he chanced upon a river, in the middle of the forest. In the river, a preacher was baptizing.
The drunk stepped into the water.
The preacher says, "Brother, have you found Jesus?"
The drunk replies, "No, I haven't."
The preacher dunks the man into the water, and he comes up again.
"Have you found Jesus, my brother?" the preacher inquired, a second time.
"No, I have not."
The preacher dunks him into the water again.
"Have you found Jesus yet, brother?"
"No, I have not."
The preacher dunks him into the water, a third time. This time, for a little longer.
When he couldn't breathe, the preacher released him, and he came up out of the water again.
The preacher said, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?!"
"For the last time, no! Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

If you do not mind saying where in the south are you.
You are probably thinking about the Southern Baptist Churches of years ago or those in the back country, some of those scare me too. If you are in a larger city you should be able to find a large Southern Baptist Church that's quite accepting and not loud and condemning from the pulpit.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
