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

Each person finds a path. guillaumeb Apr 2019 #6

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

Oh, no, he's not confused... MineralMan Apr 2019 #13

Sure..... guillaumeb Apr 2019 #15

I'm not. trotsky Apr 2019 #14

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
