You guys shame me in my myopic view. I'm afraid that I have sinned, the sin of pride and arrogance in particular. You see, when I said that "we lost in the end," I was talking about the SBC prior to the fundamentalis takeover. That is prideful and arrogant because it negates all other Baptist traditions. I am sorry for implying that 1) the SBC is/was all that it means to be Baptist and 2) that the other Baptist denominations have lost what it means to be truly Baptist.
Also, to those that lovingly claim the term "liberal" for themselves, I did not mean to slight you with linking you to the Fundamentalists of the SBC. I was framing the "progress" of the current SBC in a negative light and calling that "liberal." I'm sorry Haruo. I know of some (self-identified as liberals) people that would find the clause not only strange, but might refer to it as "fightin' words."
Be Well,
Tim
