    Maybe someone should bulldoze the rotting landfill the SBC has become and put up a church in its place. If you don’t have time for or access to the article at least read the Twitter thread.

    This whole thread … damn. The SBC is all in on declining to fully investigate sexual abuse.

    The Baptist Student Union at Memphis State was still racially segregated in the late '80s. At SIFC meetings, the Black BSU house and the White BSU house had separate representation, etc.

    Pretending that sexual abuse exists is against their religion.

    Most schools have Black Student Unions, Asian Student Unions, Women’s Student Union, Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic, Jewish, Native American ….
    Most colleges abide by the ‘separate but equal’ philosophy. Everyone can have a group and groups can control their membership. Otherwise the Klan would join the NAACP and disband the organization

    Jesus was relaxing in Heaven when he noticed a familiar-looking old man. Wondering if the old man was his father Joseph, Jesus asked him, "Did you, by any chance, ever have a son?"

    "Yes," said the old man. "But he wasn't my biological son. He was born by a miracle, by the intervention of a magical being from the heavens."

    "Very interesting," said Jesus. "Did this boy ever have to fight temptation?"

    "Oh, yes, many times," answered the old man. "But he eventually won. Unfortunately, he heroically died at one point, but he came back to life shortly afterwards."

    Jesus couldn't believe it. Could this actually be His father?

    "One last question," Jesus said. "Were you a carpenter?"

    "Why yes," replied the old man. "Yes I was."

    Jesus rubbed his eyes and said, "Dad?"

    The old man rubbed his eyes and said, "Pinocchio?"

    I see Armani Ronnie Floyd is doing his best to coverup the problems at SBC. Not too long ago, he hired a private chopper to ferry himself between campuses of his churches in northwest Arkansas so he could preach to multiple congregations.
