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.

Jon you are merely putting out your own opinions. Like any other religion there are abuses. You however condemn everyone. As far as the slaughters are you talking about the Crusades of 1100 AD or the Nazis of the 1930’s and early 1940’s who by the way were an equal opportunity slaughter as they killed Jews as well as Christians. Or are you referring to the Inquisition of the Middle Ages or again are you just painting with a wide brush. Facts please.
Then why is it that Muslims are killing or enslaving everyone that isn’t Muslim? I don’t see any Christians doing it. The Crusades was a direct result of Muslim conquests of Christian countries.
Sand Flea logic, communist manifesto, trash religion, tear down the education system, reprogram the youth
All if this is taking place at a school/university, near you.

christianity is moral , kind , love sharing and caring , living a good clean life. In contrast we have morons and Islamist who are vicious murderers, lwife enslaverfs, child beaters and pedohiles and sex maniacs who have sex with animals. Now do you wan to live in that kind of world. tge west has emancipated women and past child laws that cover labor and edullcation. as a part of christianity
These people are nothing but evil! Makes me wonder about the ones accusing white people of having this alleged and false privilege, for not seeing that Islam is really the trouble in the world! I keep seeing people saying white man is the devil, but who are the ones turning against God at this time, since Obama came along? Just an observation.
Pray for these misguided souls
Rico Palamalu Give it a rest the Crusades were in 1100 AD almost one thousand years ago. The Romans used to feed the Christians to the lions, they also Crucified them. The Romans were Pagans don’t hear anyone condemning them.
