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.

White privelage is that thing that lets you not be stopped and harassed, beaten, raped, shot by police just for daring to walk around in public because of your skin color. White privelage is the ability to not have fifty percent of your resumes thrown out by potential employers because your name sounds ‘ethnic’. White privelage is the ability to be seen as an individual instead on representing your entire race with your own, individual actions. Any questions??
Hun, nobody is suggesting people kill Christians.
No, they just want their religion and beliefs to be ingrained in our government and public schools.
Our country was built on slavery and pushing native Americans out of their homes. Stop kidding yourself.
Has nothing to do with religion? I guess your liberal self missing that organ between your ears missed that part.
Emily Sapphire Ruiz yes i certainly do – too many hispancis and everything is written and spoken (on the phone – press 2 for spanish) and they should learn the English language to write read and speak
Yep, cause it’s christians throwing people off of roofs, and burning them in cages!!
My stance has nothing to do with religion. I guess your liberal self missing that organ between your ears missed that part. Has to do with it being a “White privilege meeting”.
This disgusts me….better not ever run into one of these ignorant people….i don’t know if i can restrain myself
