🧵 From Talairco’s grandfather: Mr. Causey, 86, said he found himself on the “moderate” side during what critics call the “fundamentalist takeover” of the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1970s, although he was no longer a church pastor by then. The slow-motion split introduced new political and theological tensions into the denomination.

“The conservatives believed that the Bible was dictated by God to the writers of the Bible and that every word of it was to be taken as the literal word of God,” Mr. Causey recalled. “I just never could swallow that line.”/2

@georgetakei I understand Jost's reasoning, and it scares the hell out of me too. 😬
What I don't get is the people acting like #Trump stealing or frauding himself to a third term of something that Jost is in favor of, or promoting. 🙄 Know a warning when you hear or see one folks!
