After eight years of boycotting Walt Disney Co., the Southern Baptists voted to call it quits. Apparently, they had as much trouble keeping Southern Baptist families out of the theme parks, as they do keeping their ministers out of whorehouses.
The Southern Bigots originally launched their boycott because they were angry with Disney for offering benefits to same-sex partners. Of course, we can't argue with the Southern Baptist's logic. After all, we know Jesus would have joined them in their crusade to keep sick people from receiving medicine or having the loved one of their choice bedside at the hospital. The love they repeatedly profess often overwhelms me.
Unfortunately, while the boycott is over, the gay bashing isn't. The bigot's new target: Children. A resolution was passed urging local churches to infiltrate schools and indoctrinate children into a creed of intolerance.
"Homosexual activists and their allies are devoting substantial resources and using political power to promote the acceptance among schoolchildren of homosexuality as a morally legitimate lifestyle," the resolution states.
What else can we expect from a religious denomination that was founded to support slavery in the South? Could we expect less from a Church that recently passed a resolution that calls on women to "submit herself graciously"?
The Southern Baptist Convention is clearly a primitive organization that is bad for America. They have a legacy of hate and it doesn't appear that they have learned from their sins of the past.

YEs, real knuckle-draggers! These are the same 'christians' that cheered in their churches when President Kennedy was assasinated and I'm sure more than a few of them were disappointed that that old KKK guy was just convicted of the 1964 murders he was involved in. We also read now that Jerry Fatwell is boycotting Kraft foods for supporting the upcoming gay games in Chicago. He said he has to find an alternative for his Oreo addiction. This dumb shlub was just on a breathing machine in a hospital for heart problems (you mean he HAS a heart?!?!) Hopefully the cookie alternative he finds will be even higher in sugar and trans-fats. >:P Gary (NJ)

The SBC can't even keep their ex-gays out of the gay bars. The SBC is beginning to sound monotonous. Soon they're entire message will be insignificant. No one will listen. Instead, we'll say, "What lame boycott are they pulling off now? Oh Geez". Maybe they should boycott the LIA bootcamp's child abuse tactics instead.
