• Southern Baptist Leader Distressed to Learn Many White Evangelicals Aren't Nutjob Ideologues

  Note to R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary: When even Bill O'Reilly thinks you're a Bible-thumping crackpot, it's serious cause for concern. A new Pew poll showing that many white evangelicals don't buy into a vengeful, egocentric God who damns all non-Christians to eternal hellfire is causing consternation among Southern Baptist theologians, though the rest of mankind is breathing a sigh of relief. According to this story from the Nashville-based Souther
