@vivify saidA few weeks of stupid threads like this and then will come your apology and the claim that you are stressed out, and have problems and you need a break from the forum because you are being a jerk.. We will wait for it.

Racism among white Christians is higher than among the nonreligious. That's no coincidence.
Even from way back to the Spanish Inquisition, brutality and murder from Christians accompanied rampant anti-Semitism.

Isn't Christianity absolutely worthless if the KKK can so comfortably fit in?

White guilt leftist ideologue. YOU are the racist.

@fmf saidWell, FMF, it seems evident that you just exhibited the no true Scotsman fallacy.
That's exactly what it is. You, and your behaviour and your character, are part of Christianity.
Making a sweeping generalization about Christianity based on the performance of a single individual.
I suppose that now you'll lump all Christians into the same category.
@josephw saidI am doing the opposite of making a sweeping generalization. And the whole point is that it is NOT sbout the behaviour of ONE person. You, for example, and your demeanour and behaviour are part of Christianity.

@josephw saidExplain why. Because I pointed out racism that's endemic among white Christians?
There has always been people that think like

Because I used a legitimate news source pointing out white Christians are more racist than non-religious people? Because I gave a thorough recap of the history white Christians going back to tine Spanish Inquisition all the way to Jim Crow?
And I haven't even mentioned the fact that U.S. Christians are the largest base for a president who called Mexican immigrants drug-using rapists, while calling for a ban on all Muslims, *and* was found by the Nixon administration to use racist practices against blacks; an amazing feat given that Nixon himself was notoriously racist.
Instead of saying "yes, you're right' Christianity is infected with racism and has been for centuries", you just childishly resort to "nuh-uh, you are".
@fmf saidNo. I'm part of humanity, with the same propensity to be flawed as any other.

You're making a generalization.
What is supposed to be different is what I believe and put my faith in. Your psychoanalysis notwithstanding.
Christians promote a spiritual belief system based on biblical theology and doctrine.
The Word of God is infallible, but Christians are not.
You need to hone your compartmentalization skills with regards to making distinctions between believer and belief.
@josephw saidNo. I am doing the opposite.
You're making a generalization.
I am saying you can't generalize about Christians and Christianity; instead we do the exact opposite of generalize, and see instead that it comprises of great diversity.
Christianity is an accumulation of what billions of Christians think and do and say. It's diverse, not generalized.
