Everything bad in the world is because of Christianity, according to Paul Kivel, a lecturer at the 2016 White Privilege Conference, in Philadelphia. He made the preposterous statement that every dysfunction found in society, from sexism to racism, a weak economy and global warming is all because of what he labels as “Christian hegemony”.
Kivel’s book and website define Christian hegemony as “a system of domination is complex, shifting, and operates through the agency of individuals, families, church communities, denominations, parachurch organizations, civil institutions, and through decisions made by members of the ruling class and power elite.”
Kivel ignores the truth found throughout history that women, slaves, children, and gladiators were consistently viewed as property and without value in most cultures. However, Jesus changed the message in first century Rome, putting into place the idea that equality and human rights are from God and come by virtue of being made in the image of God. Without this “evil” biblical principle, Kivel seems to believe that society would be better.

Sorry, you lost me at White Privilege.
Man, your an idiot. Human beings have been raping, killing and going to war with each other since the stone age. This has happened for every reason under the son and every banner imaginable. Humans are humans. Religion (some, anyway) instructs us to curb that part of us and also attempts to show us (in the case of taking life) in which instances it is acceptable. Your “logic” is illogical, it is full of holes and bias.
My faith is strong and there’s no energy better spent than proclaiming my love and dedication to my Lord Jesus Christ. He doesn’t need my defense as he is all powerful. I’ll pray that one day you may find truth and peace in your heart.
