re: #274 Shiplord Kirel

Full disclosure: I am not a Baptist but I probably would be if Baptist churches in this part of the world were not absolutely infested with; indeed, run by; creationists and other superstitious quacks.
The time-honored Baptist principle of separation of church and state is as extinct as Homo Habilis (whose existence they don’t accept either.)

It’s depressing, isn’t it? I was brought up Catholic, was married in a Methodist church, attended military chapel services with a rotating cast of Protestant chaplains, belonged to two different independent evangelical churches and one Baptist. I came across a lot of excellent people and received great teaching and spiritual counseling from some of those pastors. But good night nurse, the stupidity and bigotry of some of them boggles the mind.
