This church sign that Andrew Sullivan posted was just too good to pass up. Interestingly, it's a Baptist Church that is admonishing Rick Perry on his bigotry. So many wrongs are done in the name of God and/or "protecting America." Kudos to Texas Baptist!

Michael, since you're not a Texan, you might be interested to know that the dogmatic zealotry of the Southern Baptist Convention over the past few years has lead a huge number of Texas Baptist Churches to leave the Southern Baptist Convention.
It simply became an embarrassment to them. I was raised as a member of a church that was part of the Southern Baptist Convention.
In all fairness, I have to admit that although what most Baptist in Texas have always believed is too conservative for my personal view, they did not change their views. What changed was that the Southern Baptist Convention was over run by and over powered by the Radical Right Wing of Christianity. Texas churches, choosing to remain loyal to centuries of Baptist belief, left the Southern Baptist Convention rather than submit.
Thus the sign you see in front of a Baptist Church.
