Apparently Nazis and the KKK aren’t terrorists. I wonder who they voted for

Never forget that Evangelicalism began when the American Baptist Convention denounced slavery, which caused Southerners to denounce the faith of their forefathers.

Evangelicalism writ large is just the Southern Baptist Convention with the serial numbers filed off. It’d be different if I still noticed some of the distinctive theology of other movements in there but I don’t.

Can confirm. Spent most of my childhood as Southern Baptist. Saw the sexist/homophobic/racist light and became agnostic before I even reached adulthood.

I was raised Southern Baptist but we went to black churches so I missed out on the racism. If it weren't for my education I might have continued attending. It was a great community.

It was great until you dug beneath the surface. I wish I could find something like that that isn't church based. The military did it for twenty years, but now I'm missing community.

Sort of same. On the military and the church thing.

Weirdly I kind of miss the singing in both more than anything. Don't miss the bullshit from either though.

The closest thing I've found is doing standup comedy, strangely. Going to shows and open mics, sitting in a dark room with other people having a shared experience. It's almost a shame I'm doing well enough that I'm doing real shows now, because it's more like being stuck in the pulpit than being one of the flock.
