15. Ummmm, this is the very same group that favored slavery over
.

Ummmm, this is the very same group that favored slavery over the abolition of slavery just prior to the U.S. Civil War. Indeed. These yo-yos broke away from mainstream Baptists to form their own sect of Baptists who favored slavery. I think the date was around 1848 or so. Slaveowners had to go somewhere to church, correct? The rift of separation never has been pasted back together to this day!

So what's the surprise today? When these bigots want to exclude themselves from gays and those who allow gays into their churches? Merely more of the same old same old discrimination. S'all.

However, and here lies the irony, their leaders may be gay and carry on extra-marital trysts! No surprise there either. After all, didn't slaveowners father many progeny too?

Bigots, typically, are hypocrites, period.
