Jesus did not come to make America great.
So, anyway, I'll keep being a female pastor, and a queer one at that, and I welcome any SBC refugees to join me at church. There's life beyond abusive expressions of church.
They know this. They don't give a shit. Because the purpose is control, and to take attention away from the fact that there is a denomination-wide cover up of abuse of women and children. Which IS against the teachings of scripture.
I'm so, so, so, so tired - more than I can tell you - of seeing this happen to scripture. The American right does not have a "biblical" view of womanhood. Their beliefs are not found in scripture.
I could elucidate on this forever, but I'll start here: they made this vote entirely from one bastardized translation of 1 Timothy, ignoring that 1 Timothy has major translation issues, and probably also prevents men who've been married more than once of holding the pastoral office.
