Church votes out 12 year old boy from attending services. |
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/134/41.0.html
'Prejudice' that makes the news--and that doesn't
The country's newsrooms are apparently flabbergasted that a church--a
Baptist church no less--would prohibit a woman from teaching men in a
Sunday school classroom.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060821/ap_on_fe_st/sunday_school_men_only
As it turns out, that storyline is problematic,
http://www.getreligion.org/?p=1839 but the heavy news coverage
continues anyway.

Meanwhile, Fellowship Baptist Church in Saltillo, Mississippi, voted
out a 12-year-old boy who "asked Jesus to live in his heart" at the
church two weeks ago.
Why the ban?
Joe is biracial, and church members didn't want the black side of his
family attending with him.
They were "afraid Joe might come with his people and have blacks in
the church," church pastor John Stevens told the Northeast Mississippi
Daily Journal.
http://www.djournal.com/pages/story.asp?ID=226460&pub=1&div=Lifestyles
"I could not go along with that. There would always be a wall between
us, so I resigned that night."
Cliff Hardy, a local police officer, also resigned from the church.
"My best friend is a black man," he said.
"I wouldn't be comfortable going to a place where I couldn't ask my
best friend to go to church with me."
The paper contacted church members, but they refused comment.
Here's perhaps one of the most amazing parts of the story:
four days later, no media outlet has picked up the Northeast
Mississippi Daily Journal's reporting.
Are media outlets too busy misreporting the woman Sunday school
teacher story?
Do they feel burned on bigotry stories, now that they know the story
isn't so simple?

Open up just about _any_ Christian church and one finds that
the followers are of one skin hue. Christianity is nothing if
it's not racist and pedophile.

Is that actually legal? Could anybody exploit a loophole and practice
racial discrimination just by making their lunch counter or bus a church?

Its legal but so immoral it would make Jesus weep. How can you call
yourself a christian and exclude anyone?

They exclude fags, niggers etc. all the time. That's why they call
themselves "Christians". They hate/exclude jews, too... ...'but that's
somewhat understandable given the circumstances.
Errrr... Hmmmm. Wasn't Jesus a Jew?
