- Welcome to Southern Baptist Sodomites -
The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest protestant denomination in the United States, has been one of the most bigoted, backwards, regressive "Christian" denominations in the US since the "conservative resurgence" of the late 1970s. From that time, women, homosexuals, moderates within their own ranks, those of other religions, Democrats - any person or group not firmly fundamentalist Christian - has not only been ignored, but actively excluded and degraded by the SBC. This site is dedicated to exposing the Southern Baptist tactics employed in maintaining its current fundamentalist status quo.
Why Use the Term "Sodomites?"
One of the things many Southern Baptists most love to do is use the passage, Genesis 19, describing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as ammunition against LGBTQ folk. Learned biblical scholarship has long taught us that the Sodom and Gomorrah story has nothing to do with homosexuality as we understand it today, but rather with an inhospitable disposition towards those who are different/strangers (Ezekiel 16:49-50; Matthew 10:1-15). The Southern Baptist Convention treats those with whom it disagrees with abominable inhospitality, mirroring the attempted gang rape in the Sodom and Gomorrah story with the modern spiritual equivalent. That's why I use the term, "sodomites." The SBC as an organization, and many of its leaders, are truly sodomites for the way they treat others.
