    Gambling is A-Okay with all these Southern Baptists though!

    In a spectacular show of Southern Baptist hypocrisy (I was raised one, was at most of the definitive Conventions of the 80's.) The self-righteous of Mississippi are doing a great job of harassing clinics that serve women seeking a choice.

    Casinos, which Southern Baptists (After all, the folks in charge are either Southern Baptist or belong to sects that consider the Southern Baptists as a little bit too liberal for their tastes) historically have had even more of an opposition too, however, are flourishing.
