Yours must have been more progressive. Mine just looked down upon the drinkers, the apologists, the cultists, the polygamists, and the nonbelievers. Freewill Baptist, love thy neighbor my ass… the ONE thing I’ll give them is they don’t pay the pastor and the money is spent for the community or the repairs of the church.
