Renouncing My Membership of All Southern Baptist Affiliation

Thank you for your post. I just saw it and have not read any of the comments. I don't trust any church after the disastrous CoVid tragedy. Now there is so much more that the church has encouraged by not loudly disassociating from the government. On the contrary, they are hand in glove for the most part. But this latest tragedy in Uvalde is just the last straw.

What the elected officials have said and done actually blaming their non-supporters for it, and in the words of one I just read, a direct quote from a speech the party not her own is to blame because we are god haters, baby killers, America haters, and just evil and so on.

That any Christian would support and reelect someone who would say that, I don't understand. I just don't. Now they are wanting to have religious ideas made into law and I fear this will happen. I don't want to fear anything because I've gotten used to being able to pray those things away.

I am not going to fear about people who have gotten into power. I plan to keep praying that fellow Christians who have become convinced of false ideas that hurt other people will at least pray about it personally! Always the "prayers and thoughts" that nonbelievers try to joke about, whistling past the tombs. But in this case, I pray for their prayers and thoughts for themselves and for their own families ability to learn something real and give up superstition.

i wish atheists could maybe restrain calling Jesus a sky fairy and such like because it gives an easy way out to these extremist voters to avoid asking questions. We need as Christians to join together or we won't have the ability to make necessary changes.

How the church has been so captured by government, is a mystery to me. It is positively medieval. Power is so seductive I suppose that's why Lord Acton wrote that it is corrupting and as power grows, so does the corruption in a person.
