The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) allegedly has a history of issues with sexual assaults or abuse. It’s likely not as extensive as the government schools, but the Biden Administration can always use another distraction, so the SBC just drew the short straw.
“The SBC Executive Committee recently became aware that the Department of Justice has initiated an investigation into the Southern Baptist Convention, and that the investigation will include multiple SBC entities,” the church’s executive leadership said in a statement. “Individually and collectively each SBC entity is resolved to fully and completely cooperate with the investigation.”
…
The SBC said that they were already working on addressing past alleged instances of abuse as evidenced by a recent investigation that they had completed.
“We recognize our reform efforts are not finished,” the church said. “In fact, those efforts are continuing this very moment as the recently announced Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force begins its work and as each entity has strengthened its efforts to protect against abuse.”
Well, of course, they are – you don’t admit to having issues like this and then refuse to cooperate with a militant armed entity with a more prolonged and more extensive history of same. The Party of sexual abuse is currently in charge in DC and has a decades-long stranglehold on the army of bureaucrats that are their boots on the ground. Telling them to go screw might not be a good idea. They know where the rhetorical “bodies” are most likely hiding.
Or where they could claim to find them.
The SBC is the most conservative religious “congregation” in America. A Christian institution, the Left has failed to properly penetrate and undermine. One that had had its problems, but nothing compared to the debauchery of the Left evidenced in the form of Jeffrey Epstein (D – Didn’t kill himself). A guy who was executed because he could have exposed too many influential people as sexual abusers themselves.
And don’t get me wrong, if abuse is happening, it needs to stop, and the abusers need to be dealt with, but that applies to everyone, not just targets of the state that happen to coincidentally represent a potential barrier to their political program.
A barrier that could expect a visit from a phalanx of new IRS agents who are expected to be both armed and willing to use deadly force.
