The terrible thing about electing Trump was not just that we gave a wannabe dictator power but the fact that we have empowered and validated the power hungry hypermasculine churches who would make a deal with Satan in the flesh just to make us “a Christian nation.” What do they want the rest of us to do and be? I left the SBC a long time ago and I don’t want to go back to that kind of Christianity built on cults of personality and fear.
It would only horrible for anyone investigated by the government if they had something to hide and were supposed to be representing and protecting the ppl who pay their salaries. This is reprehensible and a mockery of government. Sigh.
Christa: I grew up in the SBC and it sickens me to see what they have become. (Unfortunately, it doesn’t surprise me.). I bought your book to hear more about how this corrupt church justifies their hypocrisy…
I’m 80 pages in. It is well written and it makes me sad that you went through it, but only a person of incredible Faith could have shared this with others.
FBC Fort Walton Beach needs to kick Matt Gaetz out or GET kicked out. This is the most blatant abuser yet, and he cannot be allowed to continue as a public servant OR to call himself a Southern Baptist. Is Florida country club state where being SBC opens all the right doors? They need to draw the line at pedophiles, these House reps sharing receipts are not "libs" being "owned" either. Thanks for bringing this forward, Christa.
Every word of this. I am nauseous. For every one of us who have escaped this in our personal lives only to see it spread through the country, elevated to the highest offices, it is a nightmare.

Yes, I totally get it. It is a nightmare... in the real.
