From the More Religious Hypocrisy file (we don't do as we believe folder):


(Emphasis mine to call attention to the obvious hypocrisy)

Tell us again how religion is inclusive and how all faiths worship the same god. Atheists don't need to call attention to Christian elitism and divisiveness when they do it so well themselves.

Someone ought to sue them for criminal misuse of the term "interreligious".
Umm...the Baptists weren't the ones running the "interreligious" service. Seeing as how it's their property, they have the right to dictate for what purposes their property can and cannot be used. Since they had no part in the "interreligious" business, I don't see how you can attribute hypocrisy to them. It's not elitism. These people believe that the property is consecrated to the purposes of their God. Letting people have religious services for some other belief would seem to be like a desecration. If they want to think the church is the building, that's their business.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
