didn't include the concept of white supremacy. I never claimed anything so ridiculous. You're arguing with at straw man. AGAIN.

But the Christianity of the people who walked out of the room in your article DOES include whiteness. And Christianity has contained elements of white supremacy since its early days in Europe.

You keep trying to have it both ways - that you get to define an essential "Christianity" for everyone, but at the same time insist no one gets to define a religion for anyone else.

You've chosen hypocrisy, it seems.

Well, that was pretty rude of those who walked out. MineralMan Apr 2019 #5

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

Oh are we back to you defining Christianity now? trotsky Apr 2019 #11

You seem confused. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #12

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

Narrator: "Yes, it is." n/t trotsky Apr 2019 #32

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
