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.

For the World is in Darkness, doesn’t search for the Light…
For the World hates Jesus therefore they will hate thee, too!
truth
That’s what logic looks like, sad part is most of the world has been taking orders and following for so long they no longer think among logical terms when talking about religion.
People want something to cling to. Organized religion is there to promote safety of the herd. It was useful back then and it is useful now. Where it gets fucked up is when religious people become religious leaders and then use mass religion as a tool to create social norms.
