The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) voted to oust two of its churches Tuesday for being too inclusive on LGBTQ+ matters, the Associated Press reports.

The decisions were made during a hearing by the church's executive committee, which acts as the governing board for the Nashville-based SBC when it is not in session, the Tennessean notes.

The SBC, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, banned the two churches for affirming homosexual behavior.

Southern Baptist leader Al Mohler expressed his approval of the committee's actions on Twitter, writing, "These actions were necessary and proper."

1. Why don't CPAC and the SBC get together and split the costs?

They believe in the same crazy shit.....

2. Funny, I've read most of the NT but I don't remember JC saying anything about persecuting LGBTQ+.

But I could be wrong.

3. Grape juice and Chiclet oyster crackers are divine.

What a memory. As if...

4. For those of you

Who have never seen their headquarters in Nashville, please go take a quick Google view of that gaudy thing (9th Ave and Commerce St.). The real reason for their offices is to d**k wave, and they do it with flourish. All those poor idiots paying for that huge building so those racist asshats can show off.

7. How apt that the pages of the bible are black.

Prime real estate costs a fortune.

5. Yes, those Baptists cannot be found to be practicing Christianity.

None of that love one another stuff for them.

9. Love your neighbor, except... except... except... nt

10. How very Christian of them

NOT!

11. Was thinking the same way.

Does their Jesus want them to hate? Horrible humans, and some poor children have to fear being thrown away by their own parents.

[Marcuse]

12. It's very convenient for your god to hate the same people as you.
