White American Christianity Needs to Be Honest About Its History of White Supremacy

[Guno צְבִי]

the past few days, I’ve seen all kinds of statements from Christian leaders trying to distance themselves from the violent mob at the Capitol. Christian writers known for their thoughtfulness lament that “somehow” white supremacy has crept into our churches, and the faculty of a major evangelical institution put out a manifesto saying that the events at the Capitol “bear absolutely no resemblance to” the Christianity they teach. That mob, they’re telling us, is a fringe element. They’ve radically misunderstood the real message of American Christianity.

This could not be further from the truth.

I believe the mob at the Capitol has radically misunderstood the teachings and life of Jesus. But it is an absolutely logical conclusion of white American Christianity.

The mob at the Capitol recognizes only one Messiah. That Messiah is tRump.

Jesus said his Kingdom is not of this world.....

One of the reasons he had nothing to do w/ politicians, & why none of the early followers did, is things like this....

You lay in bed w/ politicians, especially scum like trump you gonna get fucked......

After two thousand fuckin years you think these self-proclaimed would know that...........

IMHO many of the leaders in the movement are directly responsible..... Look no further than jerry falwell's son, the man he gave his church to (as if it is his to give-like the others whom I shan't name)
