The Southern Baptist Convention has declared an end to their 8-year old boycott of Walt Disney Co. One question is will anybody notice? Another is did they change anything? Though I'm sure that all the 11,000 "messengers" present at the convention would say yes, but I disagree. Has Disney stopped giving health benefits to employees' same-sex partners? Has Disney stopped having annual Gay Days at the theme parks? Has Disney stopped adult programming? The answers are no, no and can you say Desparate Housewives?

What would the SBC talk about if it couldn't be against things that other people are doing. I guess they would be forced to speculate on how they could be better human beings. I think that if Jesus would have attended the convention it would have been a scene reminiscent of the one with the money changers in the temple, i.e., he would have been seriously kicking some sacreligious ass.

...and I continue to say my only prayer...Jesus, protect me from your followers.
