I don’t disagree at all, but the southern Baptist convention has their own version of it they have created that caters to networking business owners who are willing to direct deposit their tithes. These people hate taxes and abortion and have melded the left wing to fit everything they hate in their minds.
I live in one of the poorest, most violent, most racially segregated major cities in the country. My church was extremely homophobic and covert racist. The churches in my city are still mostly racially segregated. All missions went outside of the city/country because they blamed the poor people in our city for being poor and weren’t worth helping.
Shit sucked and I just tried to enjoy the free sweet tea and fried okra until I turned 18 and never went back.

It will never cease to amaze me how many repuglicans will happily give ~10% of their income to some random church while ranting endlessly about taxes!
