A Little Schism: The Southern Baptist Convention has decided to end its association with the World Baptist Alliance because the global organization includes a Baptist denomination with openly homosexual members.

Why stop there? Southern Baptists should just disassociate themselves from the entire Christian religion.

The members don't follow the tenant of Christian love, considering their past actions of boycotting Disney, disrespecting Jews, barring women from the pulpit, and demanding that wives must "submit graciously to the leadership of her husband." They obviously play by their own rules and have disavowed the whole "love thy neighbor" and "do unto others" nonsense.

Many moons ago, a humor columnist for The Dallas Morning News named Steve Blow wrote a great piece parodying Southern Baptists -- a denomination of which he is a member. Every time I read about those jokers, I think about Rev. Blow's sermon.
