No, this will cause real change. A person who has taken a strong lead in disasters in the area will no longer be around to give their expertise and assistance any more.

Copeland was elected to be mayor of Smiths Station, a town of about 5,000

Call me cynical, but I don't think a small town mayor is going to change the core beliefs of the most extreme bible thumpers in the country. Hopefully it will make a few people realize the hatred that's being preached to them is garbage, but overall they'll continue on as normal.

Conservatives indirectly led this person to their demise. There is nothing more sinister than religious bigotry.

Nothing indirect about it, let's be honest.

So as a pastor, was she preaching the same hate that led to her death?

It's possible she was more liberal than most pastors. Might be what got some conservative mad and to look into her secrets. Some conservative Christians really hate liberal Christians

From what I've seen in comments (I know), not at all, which is especially surprising coming from Southern Baptist. I've seen the church described as "very inclusive" and supporting teenagers in crisis...

Same. It sounds like the church was an island of some tolerance, at least by local standards.

Shame mayor killed themselves instead of moving to a liberal city where they would be accepted for who they are. I know doing this is how the GOP tends to stay in power since it leaves the Republicans in the city but that what I would have done in that situation.

Thing is it's not always an affordable option for many in that boat.

I don't think you understood my point. The change that the community is going to experience is a negative change, they're going to have more trouble in disasters than they previously had.

The change wasn't that they'll grow into non-shitty people.

The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist.

Who knows? He could have become a part of some kind of positive change in the area.
