My "WTF?" of the day, religious division...

Yup, anything that doesn't let white Christians males dictate to everyone is "racism!"

Truth to tell, I have seen black guys who were viciously racist towards white people, especially Jews.

I've seen far more white guys viciously racist towards blacks.
And Jews.
And Asians.
And Hispanics.
And so on.

Hate is more common than we can ever know.

Rick Joyner: The Worst Racism Today Is Aimed Toward White People

By Kyle Mantyla | March 30, 2017 11:51 am

In a video posted to his Facebook page yesterday, right-wing pastor Rick Joyner declared that the worst racism in America today is aimed at white people.

Joyner said that back in 1990, God showed him that “it was racism that empowered the spirit of death in the world and released death” and has been responsible for countless wars throughout human existence.

“Today, we’re getting all kinds of racisms, but that’s okay,” he bizarrely stated. “I think the worst racism that is manifesting today is minority racism toward especially white people, of which I am one and I’m happy about that.”

1. this is the usual conservative bee ess

racism to them is anytime liberals and minorities promote true equality. When that happens white supremacy and advantage is threatened.

Same with Christianity. the christian religionists fear their competitors for adherents and do not wish to give up their advantage..........freely indoctrinating and imposing their beliefs on others.

2. When you start your argument with "God showed him that ..."

I think you ignore most of the rest of what follows.

The problem with "divine inspiration" is that:

Person A says God told them to absolutely do/believe X ... and then
Person B says God told them to absolutely do/believe Z ... and X & Z are entirely OPPOSITE actions/beliefs.

And this happens over, and over, and over.

Religion has its rightful place in the human condition, and needs to know its place. Either that, or God needs to get his message straight.

This is why religion needs to remain deeply personal, and not be inserted into public policy.

3. Absolutely.

Look at all the people that said "God told them" to run for office, and then they bomb out completely in the early races like the Primaries.

4. We don't need this on DU.

Your post bashing Rep. Waters was taken down. Why post this?
