Clearly, with Paige Patterson in disgrace and Paul Pressler under suspicion of pederasty, the Southern Baptists are leaving the so-called Conservative Resurgence behind — and a lot of folks don’t like that at all.
Consider, for instance, this tweet thread:
While the denomination has been hemorrhaging for years due to shallow theology, biblical illiteracy, and unregenerate membership, the current leaders are promoting unbiblical "reconciliation" strategies and women's empowerment, as if those are the answers for the SBC's problems.

History is being made as we speak and unfortunately, it appears to be the same fate that has overtaken every other mainline denomination, a fast descent into theological liberalism.

Yeah, well — ho-hum; what is there to say to, or of, a man who thinks theology is actually a branch of knowledge? Evangelicals squandered whatever moral credibility they had with their all-in support for The Donald, and if they want to spend a while beating-up each other instead of dragging the country down to their own debased level, that works for me.
