In North Carolina: 4,300 Churches join together in Bigotry


In today's round of foolishness, we learn that 4,300 churches join together fight against marriage equality.

And the leader of this hate brigade, is Charlotte's pastor Mark Harris:
A North Carolina-based advocacy group that works to expose religion-based bigotry and discrimination against LGBT people is asking the N.C. Baptist State Convention and its newly-elected president to explain why they have chosen a pro-LGBT company to handle their financial investments given the denomination’s penchant for anti-LGBT discrimination and exclusion.

Rev. Mark Harris, pastor of Charlotte’s First Baptist Church, was elected to the convention’s presidency this week during their annual meeting in Greensboro. Delegates to the meeting also endorsed an impending anti-LGBT state constitutional amendment that would ban marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships for same-sex couples.

Harris told The Charlotte Observer on Tuesday that he supports the ban and would be working with the convention and other pastors to see it passed by voters when considered on May 8, 2012.
Really? Is this watch church has become? An hate machine? Mess!

Effin' Baptists.
As long as they have time to get drunk after church, they'll vote against anything.
