All that time and your summation is people being religious for fear of eternal damnation, I think, belies your assertion of understanding religious people at all. In the main, people are religious because it brings them peace - happiness - they don't find in human construct.
It's incredible you think Southern Baptists would be stealing, raping, murdering but for threat of eternal damnation.
How do you solve any problem? Create a task force.
This one should probably consist of psych professionals, law enforcement, educators, parents, lawyers, etc… investigate, pinpoint root causes (using information instead of emotion), collaborate, debate, and propose changes. Institute said changes, then reassess and start the process over until tangible change is achieved.
Yet, nothing continues to be the course of action. Just acceptance. I can’t accept innocent children dying at schools at this rate, for this reason. This just can’t be our status quo.
Awesome! So the civil war you guys are hankering for is back on?@evillawyer will be sad if this true
I think the fact they aren't raping and pillaging doesn't bolster your point.Considering their belief that 'once saved always saved', they can go back to doing so after the fact without fear of 'eternal damnation', so you really shouldn't be surprised.
There's quite literally zero incentive to even attempt to live according to the teachings of jesus outside of paying lip service to maintain a good outward standing in their local church.
Which probably explains the general Southern Baptist toleration of Ken Paxton's various affairs.
To this point, there’s nothing to suggest that he’s MAGA. Maybe everyone should just wait until the investigation is complete before jumping to conclusions. As of now, all we have are “sources” or social media sleuths guessing as to what his beliefs are.He’s a maga Mormon. Try again brother. Also don’t let this distract you from the fact the Epstein files haven’t been released. Nicely timed distraction don’t you think

We have SBs in our family for nearly 40 years. Jehovah's too. We're primarily COG. None of us are trembling in the corner over eternal damnation, or thinking today's a good day for rape and pillage because "hey, we're already in!"
Again, religious people overwhelmingly enjoy being what they are, whatever brought them to the baptismal pool originally.
