Liberal Christian offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention. CBF's focus is on egalitarian social and political policies along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.
CBF does not explicitly deny the truth of the Bible, but they emphasize that individual believers can interpret the Bible any way that they choose. This tact on interpreting the Bible can easily provide a liberal Christian with the license to make the Bible into a wax-nose so that one can twist the Bible to justify whatever one wants to read into the text. This loose approach to reading and being instructed in the Bible comes from CBF's so-called "Four Freedoms": (1)Soul Freedom-a direct relationship with God without intermediaries (2)Bible Freedom-each person can interpret the Bible for himself without direction from anyone but God (or who one can easily deceive oneself into believing is God, viz. oneself who wants what he wants and wants it now) (3)Church Freedom-local church autonomy (4)Religious Freedom-as defined by egalitarian leftists at the ACLU. The CBF is affiliated with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which opposes such benign policies as allowing for Ten Commandment displays.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship member reflecting on Deuteronomy 24 after his wife has burnt the toast: "I see here right in the Bible that I can divorce my wife if she displeases me. So, I shall divorce her and marry my sexier secretary. After she gets some mileage on her, I shall trade her in, too. I am so glad that I read the Bible and follow God's Word."

Get the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship mug.It is what happens when Number Two (or five these days) inserts his enormous steel plated testicles inside an unsuspecting minx's beeeeeeehind and shakes them vigorously. His balls give off such friction that authorities have often feared another Chernobyl type incident.
After waving to the crowd, Number two reveals his massive testicles and pops them fair into the arse of Mimi McPherson. While she smokes crack. And her crack smokes as well.

Get the St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School mug.A religious wiseman/bum who lives in Sunland-Tujunga. John is a fountain of information who is willing to share his knowledge and give advice to open minds all over the world. John can be found in or around Sunland Park enjoying the atmosphere, or even sneaking in a little snooze. Not only wise about religion, John is a great advisor in all aspects of life. Baptist John will be remembered as one of the most influential, and at times eccentric, thinkers of the 21st century.
