Birds of a feather?

There is a lot of dissonance in the evangelical version of Christianity and the answer to any doubt is that you need more faith. At its inception, Evangelicism was a blockade against cultural change (abolition) and nothing has changed.

Evangelicism was and is against abolition, ERA, civil rights, immigration, birth control, school busing, public education, the welfare of any kind, etc. If they are involved in any kind of social welfare it is proselytizing because salvation and white male privilege are at its core.

I would challenge your version of Faith in Christ. You come across as very political of your interpretation.

@SWMae 10 % of all archeological sites have been explored, there is a tremendous lack of history. There is no foundational historical agreement on history. I have to wonder where you dig your “facts” up or how studied you are.
Are you touting some post secondary study you have done. I am curious about this confidence you seem to brandish.

Calm down. Why are you so condescending? This will be my final response to you because you're reacting aggressively without provocation. I'm assuming you're saying I'm distorting scripture. Okay, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and the persecution of Anabaptists by the Reformed and Lutheran traditions, in and following the Reformation Era, yes, there is a tendency to get certain things wrong about what the Bible says. But I disagree with you that there is no foundational historical agreement on history. Unfortunately, evangelicals have rewritten history to fit their agenda. Period.

@SWMae
You seem to be very aggressive. Once you get your chill going on let me know. You don’t entertain defended arguments well. It is sad.

Alas, there are people of color who identify as evangelicals, clearly unaware of this history.

@QuixoticSoul I was asking for her reference.

@HannahSky

Reference? I took a course in African American Writers and it was eye-opening, to say the least. Maybe this will enlighten you...

Evangelicals aren’t Christians.

I was a history major, and was an atheist long before it became fashionable. I grew up in a liberal home so the idea of women being inferior makes little sense to me. I used to watch Jimmy Swaggart as comedy.

@SWMae Latino culture is odd in that it is so male dominated but they venerate Mary. Seems very Joseph Campbell.

@Fukfacewillie Thank you, TeddyRock.

My Golden Retriever is now demanding her daily walk.

It's a chilly but beautiful day today.

Enjoy your Sunday.
