The fundamental problem.

Fundamental Christian America strikes again with another instance of logic and reason-defying stupidity.

'Gospel Today' magazine has been pulled from public display from more than 100 Lifeway Christian bookstores in the USA.  "Why?"  You might ask.  Well, it turns out that this month's issue has a picture of 5 female pastors on the front cover.  Obviously this is unacceptable.

The Southern Baptist Convention owns the bookstores and has pulled the magazine from display because female pators are "contrary to what we believe."

I despair at the USA every time religious stories like these rear their ugly head.  It just serves as a reminder of how backwards, judgemental and discriminatory the worlds largest superpower is.

I was under the impression that God loved all as equal?  If that's the case, I'm sure it wouldn't mind a few female preachers.  In fact, I KNOW it wouldn't.  Because, if God exists, it would be very SANE and LOGICAL.  Don't you see?

It's another case of a few male chauvinists at the top who are scared of losing their position of power to women.  This is a man-made issue, not an issue of the divine.

What an absurd move. This is obviously not how all nor most Christians (and non-Christians) in the US feel. I believe with every ounce of my being in equality and actually think it is absurd that something so basic as equality is still an issue.

Don't let the actions of one religious faction define the rest of Christian organizations in the U.s. Since there were female pastors on the cover - that obviously says there are Christian organizations in this country who are open to it..just not the Baptists.
