I see another post by a homophobic christian. She's entitled to her beliefs, isn't she?

It's really not surprising how many Christians are homophobic and anti-BLM. That was a huge thing that made me realize how NOT Jesus-like Christianity is.

It’s no coincidence that the ex-vangelical and Christian deconstruction movement happened at the same time as the movement for Black lives. Christian Supremacy is such a huge source of injustice in the US. One of the most important aspects of my own anti-racism journey started with deconstructing the Christian faith that I was raised in.

This is controversial because Christian supremacist ideology is really pervasive in Black churches too. They don't like the racist parts but they do embrace the homophobia and sexism. And they don't see how it's all related.

When you think beyond White supremacy to see that's it's just one part of the umbrella of Christian supremacy, it's really a game-changer. Christian Supremacy is multiple forms of oppression and Supremacy, all wrapped into one.

God loves us all, provided we fit his followers' interpretation of what they believe God wants.

At least my dog loves me unconditionally.

@Randi1125 Lol believe it or not animals can spite people, I looked this up and apparently they can pick up on their caregivers subtle implicit biases. Dogs for example are this way most certainly. But it's not the animal itself but rather the caregiver because dogs pick up on that and so yes, dogs can be racist, it's not the dog itself though.

In a way, they don't do so out of hateful prejudices generally. Animals are not born with any preconceived notions of the world. So in a way an animal's love is pure but the caregiver's may not be so and thus taint their pet.

Interesting. I just learned something new. ❤️

@SatanBurger So true. But I'd like to point out that humans aren't born with any preconceived opinions about the world, either. It's our upbringing that instills us with our conceptions of the world, both good and bad.

On a side note, two of my acquaintances had cattle dogs in the past. Both are extremely racist. Because their dogs reacted negatively to First Nations people, they both independently came to the conclusion that cattle dogs hate Aboriginals. I attempted to show them the errors in their logic, but you know how it is, head meet brick wall, lol.

@Bushranger Haha that last part I shouldn't find amusing but I kind of kind lol. At least you tried.

@SatanBurger Hitting my head on a brick wall would have been less painful, lol.
