Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.



Nah, that’s good points and all true.
My remark was more toward societal use and punishment of religions which varied hugely and was literally opposite of true or reputationally true depending on the Caesar.
Like, Christ was ultimately killed because the Romans were being so chill, “I don’t get it, but if it means that much to you, let’s kill the guy.” Though, Christianity’s own gospel establishes itself on that whole “Go the extra mile” peg aligned to that era’s oppression.
So really, what I said was just broad and kind of valueless since we know what the Romans were like in that period.
And as for what that is; wasn’t ever sure. It seemed like a whole lot of regurgitated doctrine that was unfortunately very easily triggered and presented in a gigantic everything salad. I think it’s still going, but it really depends on fatigue levels. My only investment was around the misrepresentation and not the details, since these are all recorded and widely known. It’s never nice to see history weaponised and cherry picked, but in there lies some irony.
I think at this point it’s just a typical “The devil’s advocate is the devil” scenario. Faceless target dummy and all.
