Everything bad in the world is because of Christianity, according to Paul Kivel, a lecturer at the 2016 White Privilege Conference, in Philadelphia. He made the preposterous statement that every dysfunction found in society, from sexism to racism, a weak economy and global warming is all because of what he labels as “Christian hegemony”.
Kivel’s book and website define Christian hegemony as “a system of domination is complex, shifting, and operates through the agency of individuals, families, church communities, denominations, parachurch organizations, civil institutions, and through decisions made by members of the ruling class and power elite.”
Kivel ignores the truth found throughout history that women, slaves, children, and gladiators were consistently viewed as property and without value in most cultures. However, Jesus changed the message in first century Rome, putting into place the idea that equality and human rights are from God and come by virtue of being made in the image of God. Without this “evil” biblical principle, Kivel seems to believe that society would be better.

Not religion, people. Religion, or a lack there of, cannot be blamed for anything. The blame falls solely upon the people. We, as a race, have to start holding people accountable for their actions. No religion, book, manuscript, scroll or mantra can be held responsible for the acts of mankind.
If we were to take that road then we would have to take into account the millions of people all over the world that are aided by people of various faiths. Think of all the humanitarian missions that are performed every year on every continent. From the soop kitchens and shelters here in the U.S. to the feeding and caring of and building of entire villages and towns in second and third world countries around the globe.
then why do all races gravitate to its good teachings…. they all came one way or another with their own religions and gods yet……….
JESUS TAUGHT ONLY LOVE THE DESTROYER IS ATTACKING WE MUST STAND STRONG
THESE LIBERAL IDIOTS are teaching our children B******T. Thats why are kids are all MESSED UP.
more chicken squat
Michael Rogers religion is the leading factor in which the atrocities are committed by the people. Since Viking days to modern times people have used religion as a tool. To change politics, to advance economics, to expand territories……Ect.
Those actions had nothing to do with the actual faith, but the religion manipulates the mass to believe it is a righteous cause. A murderer can kill a whole family in the dark, then feed a homeless man in daylight and be seen as a good man, religion is very similar
Wow , never knew that assholes could be that stupid or hostile. This guy pure white trash has blamed everything bad on Christianity. Hey$#%&!@*does that go for the hospitals and charities they provide in some cases free.
wow, white and Christianity now. Didnt you forget Trump voters, and Jews and ………
Shame it was White Christians that created the US which you are trying to destroy.
BULL$#%&!@*
Riiiight.
What about the thousands of years of strife, war, nothing even approaching women’s rights, before Cristianity?
These people hate Christian religion, use it as a whipping boy, and feel the same about America.
They come up with stupid notions like “White Privilege” and call us racist if we don’t agree.
Of course, Islam is just fine and dandy!
