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.

Melissa Bock , that is in every version of the bible. Study your own faith before you defend it… Here’s a link for some homework

THE TRUE RELIGION WAS ESTABLISHED BY JESUS CHRIST 2000 YEARS AGO ,,AND YOU CAN READ THOSE WORDS WHICH FULL OF LOVE ,, HOPE ,, AND TRUE FAITH IN A NEW TESTAMENT AS NEW COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND PEOPLE….
Jon, you need to understand what capitalization means. There is one God, the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac. There are many gods, which have no life or power. These gods are not real.

Jon Evans you will never convince anyone who has a relationship with Christ otherwise. You sir are walking hand in hand with the one who will laugh at you one day and say “poor fool, You did as I thought your lost soul would…fall for anything because you believed in my nothing”.
Melissa Bock , you pass judgement on others calling us godless and corrupt, saying we try to deflect from our sin?
And yet you deny the words written in your own book, pass judgement on others you don’t know, and demand that all others who do not see it your way are wrong.
Yeah, years ago that might have happened. Today it’s changed, and I think it’s for the worst. No one wants to fight for what they believe anymore, except the extremists.
