Please go back and read my post again. 
--Children IN ALREADY DYSFUNCTIONAL BAPTIST FAMILIES are in a position
to be scapegoated now more than ever by those particular Baptist
families. Did you take my first statement to mean that ALL Southern 
Baptist families are dysfunctional? Would you agree that SOME Southern 
Baptist families are dysfunctional? Would you agree that SOME Southern
Baptist children who reside in dysfuncitonal families might be
scapegoated in those families who focus on only part of the addition to
the Baptist Faith And Message. 
--The complexities  of this  specific type of family needs to be taken
into account by the well-meaning Southern Baptists who devised the
newest point in the BF&M.
--Additionally, Southern Baptists need to recognize that many children
ARE utilized  daily by one parent  as a sounding board on gripes 
against the other parent during those numerous
less-than-perfectly-Christian family moments, and that they frequently
are scapegoated by parents - even good Southern Baptist parents. 
Chronically using a child that way is hurtful to the child. And THAT was
my chief point of concern in my post.
--I am sorry that you feel my criticism of the Baptist Faith And Message
means that I hate all Baptists and that I hate all Christians.
