At the church I attended it was discussed in detail. In my hometown, several churches actually banned homosexuals from going there anymore. They were literally kicked out of the church and told they were going straight to hell.
Other gems of wisdom from the church I attended(specifically my youth pastor):
- Compared homosexuality to bestiality and said that if men could marry men then men should marry animals using the same logic (because that makes fucking sense)
- Straight out said that "If you are a Democrat, I don't see how you could be a Christian" which is basically the nice way of saying they are condemned to hell
- Devoted six months of youth church services to financial seminars taught by conservative talk show host Dave Ramsey via VHS video tape (again, because that makes fucking sense, teaching about finances in a CHURCH about JESUS)
- Repeated sermons about how great the war in Iraq was and how it was doing the world a lot of good. I specifically remember laughing my ass off because they tried to convince us that Iraq was a big fucking threat before the war, and then fapped about how it was going on. Many church people had kids in the military, but my church was full of people in the higher tax brackets, meaning most of the kids weren't recruited and they were all officers and way out of danger, but still great American heroes stopping the great military and terrorism threat that was Iraq
- Continually bashed EVERY non-Baptist sect of Christianity. Holiness, Methodist, Mormon, Church of God, Pentecostal, even if they were in total agreeance with them on political/religious reasons. They especially hated Catholics: the funniest example involves them. My youth pastor and sunday school teacher preached on the evils of catholicism this one Sunday, saying clear out that they were going straight to hell and that they didn't love Jesus. Three weeks later, the church announced a partnership with the local Catholic church on an Abortion Walk for Pro Life or some shit like that. What fucking hypocrites.
Basically, the Baptist church I attended (for the richer people in town) basically worshiped three things: The almighty dollar, hatred for humanity, and in most cases hypocrisy and the hatred of all logic.
