I don't know what James Bond is talking about in regard to Baptists endorsing feminism.
Wouldn't that fall under rape? Talking about a pre-pubescent person, who probably wouldnt have any interest in sex until they reached puberty. Wouldn't the adult have to force the child? That was probably even more obvious back then, with females being eligible when they had their first menses. Women could marry earlier. Therefore for it to be pedophilia, it would have to be someone who actually is a child and not in the recently made up adolescent stage of 13-17 years old. [In other words, pedophilia is truly the rape of a child, and can not be confused with consensual sex with an under aged person, because the age of consent depended upon nature (first menses) and not man's opinion.]
Unfortunately JamesBond just wants to blind himself to the truth. He thinks Baptists are some international federation of unified churches, like the Catholic, Orthodox and practically every other denomination is (including ALL of the Protestants, who the Catholics hate, despite being 99% the same). He doesnt know that Baptists are independent churches with no centralized organization.
A good man is above pettiness. He is better than that.
