When it keeps you from hating the people you believe you're supposed to hate.
If asking the powerful to be merciful to the weak is "liberal wokeness" then you have deeply misunderstood the message of Christ.
No he's not, he's just rejected it.
I'll not go here into things of which we have no actual evidence but just "feel" and believe. That being said, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what she said. That's what Christ himself would have said, according to the gospels.
Those leaving are mostly against Gay Marriage GO away all of you hypocrites-maybe another bunch of Gray Suits leaving the church Bye Ya'll
I too grew up Southern Baptist.
People aren't leaving the church because of liberalism - in fact it's just the opposite. They're leaving because the Religious Right has politicized churches to the point that Christianity is increasingly seen (especially by younger generations) as nothing but a political arm of the Republican Party. And who can blame them? I've heard a good number of church members over the years tell me that they don't believe that you can be a Christian and a Democrat. That's not exactly conducive to recruiting new members. Church leaders are literally killing their own golden goose with all the politics, but given the short-term thinking and greed and massive amounts of money and influence they're rolling in they likely don't care.
Won't argue-but the Gay Marriage issue was the one that got the USA Episcopal Church basically separated from the World Episcopal Church
But that's just one denomination, and it doesn't explain what has been driving down the numbers in conservative churches like the Southern Baptists. No doubt the gay marriage controversy has led to churches splitting, but I don't think that's what has been driving down their numbers and leading to people just quitting the church in the kinds of numbers of we've been seeing over the past forty to fifty years. I do think much of it is that we're just becoming a more secular society and the church is no longer seen or viewed as a positive moral or stabilizing or community force that it once was, at least partly because of endless scandals including child abuse and sexual abuse and mostly the politics I mentioned.
You're a liar.
Don't disagree with you Just responding to Ramrouser's comments about Wokeness
Sorry, I've had him on ignore for awhile.

These people are insane.Oklahoma Senator Proposes Total Ban on Porn to 'Restore Moral Sanity'
Making, distributing, or consuming pornographic material could get you 10 years in jail.
The porn ban is just one bill in a slate that Deevers says is “aimed at restoring moral sanity in Oklahoma.” That includes a law that would make it illegal for a person to order and use abortion pills, prohibit no-fault divorces, and offer $2,500 tax credits to people who opt into “covenant marriages” that can only be dissolved in cases of abuse, adultery, or abandonment. Deevers said the laws are designed to roll back the degeneracy of the “far-left” in the state, despite the fact Republicans have held all three branches of state government since 2010.
