baptist successionism (or Baptist perpetuity) is one of several theories on the origin and continuation of Baptist churches. The theory postulates an unbroken lineage of churches (since the days of John the Baptist, who baptized Christ) which have held beliefs similar to those of current Baptists. Groups often included in this lineage ...

When the faithful of any faith win, the doors are open to horrors ranging from Muslims killing Christians in Gojra, women being whipped for wearing trousers in Sudan, Sunnis blowing up dozens of Shias in Iraq, oppressive theocracies, reactionary social policies, prejudice ...

That Trump is a Christian in any meaningful sense at all, or cares even the tiniest little bit about religion and morality.
That there was actually some sort of plot to stop people from saying Merry Christmas.

I Am that I Am (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, ehyeh ašer ehyeh ) is the common English translation (JPS among others) of the response god used in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). It is one of the most famous verses in the Torah. Hayah means “existed” in Hebrew; ...
Ben Carson is clearly a man who isn’t interested in educating himself, or even making it more easily accessible to the public. Not only has he previously spoken out against free college education, but he also once claimed that the Biblical figure joseph built Egypt’s Great Pyramids in order to store grain and is under the ...
In 1998 Bill Clinton was embroiled in a scandal that ended with Congress attempting to impeach him. James Dobson (leader of Focus on the Family, an Evangelical “values voters” political group) wrote a letter:
“character DOES matter. You can’t run a family, let alone a country, without it. How foolish to believe that a person who ...
“Before leaving this election behind we must all thank Donald Trump for the one good thing he did,” Bill Maher said. “He exposed evangelicals who are big Trump supporters as the shameless hypocrites they have always been. I don’t know if you noticed, but Republicans didn’t get to play the Jesus card this time around ...
This discrimination, unjustifiably attributed to a Higher Authority, has provided a reason or excuse for the deprivation of women’s equal rights across the world for centuries. At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape ...

The proof? Just listen to what they say; look at the laws they are passing. To deny any individual basic human rights based on your individual beliefs is outrageous, unethical, and contradicts the ideas of the founding fathers. It is also contrary to the teachings of virtually all religions, and definitely not supported by what they ...
“The founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels, and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected not a one had professed a belief in Christianity…. Among all our presidents from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more ...
