Perhaps now, you understand what I mean by "real" Christians.
You claim that the Old Testament isn't part of Christianity. But only on even-numbered days? During a new moon? You still thump it and quote it when it suits you. You reject much of the New Testament too, on a sentence by sentence basis apparently using some secret mathematical formula. Your casual bigotry, dishonesty and hypocrisy makes clear that you have nothing but contempt for Christ's teachings.

Yes, I see what you mean."

I agree.....I think you'd make excellent fertilizer. They wouldn't even have to grind you up.

Oh, Jesus save me!
And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three,
and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free.
Oh, Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves, well he better save himself
from the gory glory seekers who use his name in vain.
Oh, Jesus save me!
Well, I saw him in the city, and on the mountains of the moon.
His cross was rather bloody and he could hardly roll his stone.
Oh, Jesus save me!"

"It's just neato that the SBC has made it to 1964! How long will it be until it advances to 2015?"
This article is puzzling and doesn't make sense. There are numerous Baptist churches, Southern and Independent, that have, and have long had, mixed races in their congregation. We have Blacks in our church, as well as Hispanics; despite the largest majority being White.
Maybe it's a geographical area thingy, I don't know.
The article offers stats, it shouldn't be puzzling just because your experience is different. After all, it's the SBC leadership that's saying in this article that change is needed, not outside critics.
Near where I live is a 100% Hispanic (as far as I can tell) Christian church, I'm not sure of the denomination.
If not Catholic, seems like a lot of hispanic protestants are pentecostal, I think. At least that was the case it seemed in NJ where I lived.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
