Southern Baptist spokesman Daniel Darling insists, contrary to statistics, that evangelical conservative churches are drawing young believers. It’s only soft liberal churches preaching “the gospel of nice” that lose the young. As Slacktivist points out, the Bible has a lot to say about compassion and what might be called niceness. And as noted at the first link, a lot of its un-nice vitriol is reserved for the rich and powerful.
Despite which, Bryan Fischer (the man who believes the First Amendment is only for Christians) believes the poor should kneel down and kiss the ground where the rich walk because the rich pay the taxes that pay for welfare.
And here we have another true believer declaring her disgust for the Nabisco Honey Grahams pro-gay ad.
Oh, and here’s Rachel Held Evans on how evangelical churches continue driving away anyone who believes in social justice.
•Slacktivist has often noted that right-wing Protestants did not universally condemn abortion after Roe vs. Wade. Case in point, the Southern Baptists were fine with it.
•Meanwhile, Tennessee cracks down on women who use drugs while pregnant. And more and more right-wingers are pushing personhood measures that give the fetus full legal rights. This doesn’t lead anywhere good.
So what have the religious right been doing lately?
