It is not being politically correct to be appalled at that coming out of a long time Christian leader's mouth. It is simply a lack of charity, dignity and respect for a fellow human created in God's Image.<br /><br />The excuses made for Cooper only prove to me how shallow and lost most of the SBC really is. I had my suspicions but the defenders of so much evil, lying, crassness in the SBC really proves how deep the problems are. The "Christians" in the SBC follow men. Not Christ.
