I believe that most Christian denominations today are embodying what CS Lewis called "Christianity and," in this case, "Christianity and creationism." To them, denying creationism is denying God. That's one of many reasons that I left.
One thing that can be agreed upon is that the platform of the Southern Baptist Church underscores the irresponsibility and narcissism inherent in Evangelical Christianity. And so too does it demonstrate Evangelicalism's descent into materialism by being primarily a power structure and political gimmick, as opposed to a genuine, constructive spiritual force.
