[On why agreement between Christian groups is bad, and why Billy Graham has fallen from Bro Randy's good graces]
Keep in mind that Baptists are NOT Protestants. We never "protested" and "reformed" like the other religions and denominations. We have been in existense since Jesus established us during His earthly ministry. All other groupd are man-made.

Let's see... Baptist as a denomination never appeared until well after Martin Luther posted his rant on the cathedral door... Jesus was a Jew, not a Christian... and one of his apostles was (supposedly) the first Pope.
I agree wholeheartedly, Baptists are not Protestants, they are not even a religion. Anyone who has studied their last few Southern Baptist Conventions knows that they are now a political party. Very little is said about God or Jesus or heaven anymore. All their statements are now demands of the government to follow their agenda. I wish that this was a joke.
Bullshit, Debbie, bullshit.
Oh Lordy. Somebody doesn't know her church history.
Mrs. Debbie belongs to a branch of super-fundie Baptists who have a whole self-invented myth about the origin of their religion. No one believes it but them. It's called Baptist successionism . Basically, they claim as ancestors any group that believed in adult-only baptism, a practice that can be found dating from the earliest days of Christianity. The connection with such groups exists only in their minds, however, since most such groups also held other beliefs (besides adult baptism) that would make Mrs. Debbie's hair curl in disgust.
From my Gnostic perspective, I can make the argument that Jesus wished to liberate his people from religion. He did not plan or design any of the religions that carry his name.
@Rehab - I've noticed that double-posts can happen when you submit and the page times out without verifying that the submit worked, so you submit again. Most of the time, if the page times out, the submit seems to take anyway.
Lots of denominations claim to be the One True Church, founded in the year 33 by Christ Himself, from which every other church is in apostasy. How are you the One True One True Church?
HAHAHAHA. Right.
If these people can't even get the last few hundred years of history right, then its no wonder that they don't understand the last few million when it comes to evolution.
@ Esjeur:
So, the Catholic church in the first century was a fake?, they did a good job until, misteriously, you reappeared in the sixteenth century?
Matilde:
Wasn't Christianity started by a man, eejit?!? Besides, Protestants protested 'gainst the Catholic chruch around the sixteenth century....not against Baptists....the Christian church started out as sects, then became only Catholic, and then the Protestants broke off of the Catholics becoming kind of corrupt and the religion becoming more of a business than anything else...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
