I have decided that it’s time to take a stand. Below you will find a resolution I will be submitting to the Resolutions Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention for their consideration for our 2017 Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. Aside from the Pastor’s Conference, voting on this resolution may be the most important thing we do in Phoenix.
WHEREAS, Southern Baptists are a people who hate what is evil and love what is good; and
WHEREAS, Southern Baptists are known for their bold stands against many of the cultural evils of our day such as Disney World, Target, and Starbucks; and
WHEREAS, Bill Belicheat, Tom Brady, and the New England Patriots are a microcosm of all that ails our great nation; and
WHEREAS, spying on other teams in an effort to gain a competitive advantage is rightly understood as cheating; and
WHEREAS, Attempting to gain an advantage by altering the PSI in the game footballs undermines the integrity of the game of football; and
WHEREAS, Cheating is a violation of the eighth and ninth commandments; and
WHEREAS, There are likely many other ways in which Belicheat, Brady, and the Patriots have cheated over the years; be it
RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, June 13-14, 2017, express our strongest possible repudiation of the New England Patriots; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we call on all fans of this God-forsaken team to repent of the unfathomable transgression of rooting for such a team; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we call on all former fans to bear fruit in keeping with repentance by bringing all Patriots merchandise to the altar of their churches this Sunday; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we call on all Southern Baptists churches to hold a special bonfire as soon as possible to properly dispose of all of the forsaken merchandise; and be it finally
RESOLVED, That we commit to help our lost friends, neighbors, and family members who have been blinded by some evil spell put on them by Robert Craft to see the light and begin cheering for another NFL franchise.
Feel free to add your own WHEREAS and RESOLVED statements to this great resolution in the comments below.
and WHEREAS:
The Patriots are not really patriots so they are operating under false pretenses which is a violation of the civil code of the state of Massachusetts because they are not registered as “The Devil — DBA the Patriots”
Most illogical is the Patriots’ support from evangelicals and other social conservatives. To back the Patriots these fans must repudiate everything they believe.
NOw THAT is a resolution worth our consideration at the SBC…
Hate (unless directed toward the Patriots or other evil things) is not a godly characteristic.
Hey! That’s not fair and sinful what you there, Adam blosser! I’ll get my revenge!!!
Gezzz – Miller gives you a little bit of temporary/interim authority and it goes to your head this quickly?!?!?!
Be it resolved that the Southern Baptist Convention recognizes that there are always people who are jealous of winners.
Be it further resolved that the Southern Baptist Comvention recognizes that all NFL teams attempt to gain a competitive advantage.
Be it further resolved the Southern Baptist Convention recognizes that the Patriots did not gain a competitive advantage over the Colts, and that the Colts stunk that year anyway.
Be it further resolved the Southern Baptist Convention recognizes the greatness that is the New England Patriots.
Be it further resolved the Southern Baptist Convention desires to sponsor the New England Patriots.
