It wouldn't be pretty.
Baptists are particularly hush-hush about their sexual relationships with transsexuals.

That's a hallmark of the religious right - just as "sinful" as everyone else, but still wallowing in stigma.
► If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
► If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants guns outlawed. ► If a Republican in an ammosexual, they dictate their belief to everyone else. They pass laws ordering every household in town have a gun. They pass laws ordering stadiums, airports and other venues to allow guns. They pass laws forbidding research on gun safety.
► If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't buy meat.
► If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned. ► If a Republican isn't a vegetarian, they dictate their belief to everyone else. They pass laws forbidding disparagement of meat products and sue celebrities who swear off meat. (For example the National Cattlemen's Beef Association vs. Oprah Winfrey.)
► If a conservative is down and out, he thinks about how he can better his situation.
► A liberal worries who is going to take care of him. ► If a Republican is down and out, he demands a government bail-out. Republicans LOVE socialism for corporations and the rich. The risk is socialized; the profits are not. The lobbyists who made this happen - "the swamp" gets drained into the White House when Republicans are elected.
► If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host or commentator, he switches channels or turns the TV off.
► A liberal demands the program or personality be shut down. ► A Republican passes legislation to enforce his beliefs, and sues the talk show host or commentator. See above. Then they declare all the real media outlets to be "fake news" and promote neo-Nazi sites like Breitbart and nutjob sites like InfoWars.
► If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
► If a liberal is a non-believer, he wants any mention of God or Christianity silenced. ►If a Republican is a believer, he passes laws dictating his beliefs to others.
► If a conservative wants health care, he shops for it, or chooses a job that provides it.
► A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. ► An actual conservative promotes the personal mandate so that people pay for their own healthcare rather than forcing other to pay for it. It becomes mainstream Republican policy. A Democrat then passes it, and Republicans declare jihad against it. While forbidding Medicare/Medicaid from negotiating better deals (like in an open market) and other socialist perks for corporations and their investors.
► If a conservative reads this, he'll get a good laugh.
► If a liberal reads this, he'll get all offended and run away ► A Republican is stupid and gullible enough to believe it, and claims he was "just joking" when proven wrong.
This actually does a pretty good job of demonstrating Mr.B's pig-ignorance about the difference between conservatives and Republicans.
Once upon a time - say, during Reagan's election campaign - Republicans were for small, non-intrusive government. But since then - say, once Reagan was elected - they've been all about big government and socialism for corporations and the wealthy.

An insult...? Hardly; but if it makes you feel like a man ...
The drama, oh, the drama.

It wouldn't be pretty." So, tell us; when you were in Silver Springs, Florida and went to that church, what did they have to say about your astounding revelation?
Did they applaud you, or ask/tell you to leave?

"That's a hallmark of the religious right - just as "sinful" as everyone else, but still wallowing in stigma." "By their fruits shall ye know them" .... Christians aren't perfect people; they're just as prone to sin as anyone else, and are even more vulnerable to temptation.
It is fascinating (and amusing) to see those who only step inside a church when there's a wedding, funeral, Easter, or Christmas service spew out their vast knowledge of those who make an attempt to straighten out their lives by attending worship services. Granted, there are those who put on a show; right up to his popeness-ship, but overall, the majority of believers are just that ... believers.

Biblically speaking, outside of marriage; that's fornication and/or whoremongering. Of course, "everybody's doing it, so .... "

I have personally run into Baptists in the liquor store who wouldn't look at me. Chat you up like crazy in Food Lion, but amnesiacs in the liquor store.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

especially the children of god. It seems that raping and holding children as sex toys was big with the god crowd, but then it was only the heathen midianites that they slaughtered and raped
Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

Could be they're amnesiacs because they've only seen you, what ... maybe one time in their life, maybe two?
How do you know they're Baptist? Even at that, there are several different branches of Baptists.
Although there are many of varying faiths that totally condemn alcohol use, personally I don't think it's a sin to imbibe; providing you are in the privacy of your home, rather than whooping it up in a bar or a party. (Ephesians 5:18 - "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit") "In excess". I wouldn't won't to talk to someone while in religious circles with the smell of alcohol about me.
Back on topic though, you've replied to a quote about Vrede's vast knowledge concerning Baptists having sexual relationships with transsexuals.

So you're equating events that dealt with Jews from thousands of years ago with today's religion?
Time to catch up.

That's Christianity. The Old Testament and most of the New Testament* are about "Jews from thousands of years ago." The vast majority of Christians consider both books to be relevant to today's Christianity.
* Christ was Jewish. The separate religion with its separate beliefs and practices evolved later.

Except for when they don't consider it relevant . . . .

The very ones you pick and choose your abominations from.
