I'm talking about the version of Christianity that MOST European and American Christians believed in as they "explored" and took over the "New World." The version that's just as valid as yours, because as you have stated, no one can define a religion for someone else. Besides, as you also have stated, with faith, who needs evidence?

But anyway, thanks for showing once again that you would rather just insult my intelligence by calling me "confused."

You keep showing everyone what YOUR version of Christianity is like, g. I'll let readers of this forum decide for themselves what YOUR definition of the religion is.

It's also one of the foundational ideas of European/American Christianity. trotsky Apr 2019 #7

Whiteness as a concept is relatively new in history. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #8

What you said has nothing to do with what I wrote. trotsky Apr 2019 #9

What you wrote has nothing to do with Christianity, guillaumeb Apr 2019 #10

I did not define Chrstianity. The "charge", as it were. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #18

That is a historical fact Lordquinton Apr 2019 #19

It's a implicit definition. marylandblue Apr 2019 #20

We disagree. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #23

You said that racism had "nothing to with CHRISTIANITY" marylandblue Apr 2019 #25

What I said: guillaumeb Apr 2019 #28

I was quoting an earlier statement, which is where your implicit definition lay marylandblue Apr 2019 #29

Certainly. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #30

Is that one of your sarcastic non-answers, marylandblue Apr 2019 #31

It is a reply. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #34

No, 99.9999% of Christians believe that there is a definition of Christianity marylandblue Apr 2019 #35

An elaboration on a claim. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #36

I provided my evidence in summary in my previous post. marylandblue Apr 2019 #38

Yes, the evidence. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #39

Would you rather leave yourself as the only Christian in the world marylandblue Apr 2019 #40

"The only Christian in the world...etc" guillaumeb Apr 2019 #41

Okay welcome to your own religion with zero followers that marylandblue Apr 2019 #42

Define what you perceive to be "the essential Christian". guillaumeb Apr 2019 #43

You are the Christian, not me. You are apparently the only Christian in history marylandblue Apr 2019 #44

I think that I understand your question. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #46

So yes, racism can be part of Christianity for some Christians. trotsky Apr 2019 #47

That just supports my claim: You are the only Christian in the world who thinks that. marylandblue Apr 2019 #48

You're defining what Christianity is. (Or more specifically, what it isn't.) trotsky Apr 2019 #21

I defined where it started. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #22

Then why are you arguing with me? Of COURSE the Christianity of 100CE... trotsky Apr 2019 #24

Christianity today is not what it started as, any more than America today marylandblue Apr 2019 #26

It's funny you bring up the relationship between Maleness and Christianity Lordquinton Apr 2019 #27

Yeah kinda strange he would go there. trotsky Apr 2019 #33

It is a strange comment for you to make, guillaumeb Apr 2019 #37

You posted the article, but not to discuss racism in Christianity. n/t trotsky Apr 2019 #45
