    Please spend all your time on sports betting. Let Them Fight. Let those two rapacious vile Industries go after each other.

    That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.

      Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.

      Thanks for quoting this. It makes way more sense than the way I first read the headline as “Willful childishness.”

      Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).

    Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It’s all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. “Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?” “What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?” “We’re going to Aruba this summer and we’re going to think about homosexuality”

    As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.

    Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.

    I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.

      I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about “family”.

      It’s as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought “we can’t say that out loud, it’s clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?”

    Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some ‘reformed’ asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
