(21,046 posts)I used to go to a Missionary Baptist Church. My husband and I were the only white people there.
They let the preacher tell them they are horrible pieces of shit, due to original sin, which has nothing to do with color.
But if white people told them they are horrible pieces of shit, because they are African American, that would not be acceptable and they would scream that white people are racist.
Or the racist white people can add the "curse of Ham" from the bible and tell black people they are bad for TWO reasons?
So this means it's socially acceptable to lay original sin on people and tell them they are sinful and bad, as long as you tell everybody that, black or white or brown or yellow????
If black people are proud of their culture and heritage, why would Christianity get a pass in judging them as being bad, no matter what the color of their skin is????
Christianity gets a pass in this society when it shouldn't, for many reasons.
Hitchens already covered that in "God is Not Great".
