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.

Religion is a cancer used to destroy…. The only reason nations have a predominant faith is because they were forced to accept it at sword/gun point or die. Nature is about the only religion that has not cause wars or genocide.
Well in the end…we’ll see who was right and who is very sadly wrong. God have mercy on your empty souls.
No, what’s wrong with the world is people like this guy Paul Kivel. You notice the word evil can be made from his name.
Jon Evans nature is not a religion…its creation by God!

another satan worshiper spouting hate
WRONG! IT’S CAUSE PEOPLE DON’T FOLLOW GOD, THEIR RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL!
For once I actually agree with these idiots.
For all those saying that Christianity is all that’s good…. Tell that to the heathens they slaughtered, tell it to all the priest rape victims, tell it too all those who you say are going to hell if they don’t follow your ways…… Only difference between Christianity and Islam, is that the terrorists are not afraid to kill anymore and the Christian is because you’ve been told it’s a sin. Both faith demand obedience for fear of damnation. Nature is about the only religion that has not caused genicide or wars….. And it’s not even a faith.
