WHO DOES WARTBURGWATCH HATE MORE? UPDATE

The Houston Chronicle is about to release a story about abuse and coverups within Southern Baptist Churches.  It looks to be very revealing.

[ 47,000 Southern Baptist Churches in USA]

But back to the headline of this post.  Wartburgwatch is all over this of course, but my question is:  Who do they hate more?  The actual abusers or Albert Mohler.

My money is on Albert Mohler as more hated by the denizens of T.W.W. then the actual abusers.

Why is Albert Mohler so hated?  It's because of his stance on Scripture.

Insightful readers will keep this in mind; you can be a member of a Southern Baptist Church, you CANNOT be a member of the SBC denomination.  Each SBC church is autonomous.  There is no denominational membership for individuals.

CRUCIAL -
August "Augie" Boto, interim president of the SBC's Executive Committee, helped draft the rejection of reform proposals in 2008. In an interview, he expressed "sorrow" about some of the newspapers' findings but said the convention's leadership can do only so much to stop sexual abuses.
"It would be sorrow if it were 200 or 600" cases, Boto said. "Sorrow. What we're talking about is criminal. The fact that criminal activity occurs in a church context is always the basis of grief.

But it's going to happen.

And that statement does not mean that we must be resigned to it."

I would think; taking into account the number of Southern Baptist Churches and membership, MORE than 700 people have experienced sexual abuse of assorted leadership in the last 20 years.  It is the nature of sin - from which we all suffer.
