I totally agree with you- wrt to lifestyle choices. And judging from my own family (Kentucky Southern Baptists) the main "lifestyle" things seem to be the elements of the culture wars- abortion, guns, gays, etc.

Of course it is, and why it is so hard to change peoples minds using logic.

<<My own guess, however, is that it was more likely a life style split. The folk who left became more evangelical, much less staid. The differences seemed to be class life style differences in the minds of the folk who stayed in town.

These divisions are much more about life style choices than doctrinal or political.
