[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised Southern Baptist, I am not voting for Trump, I am pro choice, and support gay marriage.  [b]SOuthern Baptists do not have a creed or set of prescribed beliefs.[/b]   Ministers are teachers.  I am free to come to my own conclusions based on my own study and conclusions.  Personally, I think Jesus would be with me on most of these things, although I have struggled with my feelings regarding abortion in some circumstances.  However, that is up to each individual to decide for themselves.[/quote]

I think the Southern Baptists (I used to be one) would disagree with you there: http://www.sbc.net/aboutus/basicbeliefs.asp

Southern Baptists have prepared a statement of generally held convictions called The Baptist Faith and Message...

[b]Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.[/b] ... The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation... [b]Children, [u]from the moment of conception,[/u] are a blessing and heritage from the Lord.[/b] Parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage.
