From the early days of the European invasion of America, tens of millions who claimed Christianity confused the faith with white supremacy.
Because for the majority of white American evangelicals, being a Christian does not mean living like Jesus, but means protecting white power

“...at the heart of southern white conservative Christianity isn't Jesus, but whiteness, not religion, but racism and the Republican Party."

Trump's so-called Christian base has corrupted Christianity, surely as ISIS corrupted Muslim Faith.

Hey
@daveavramovich. Do you believe the majority of white American evangelicals have an insincere faith premised on protecting white power? -
No. I forgive them. They do not know what they are doing.
-
No, you don't believe they do, or, yes, you do and you forgive them?
-
I don't believe their faith is insincere. I don't think they know they are supporting whiteness. I forgive them. I also need to be forgiven.
-
Fair enough. We are definitely in agreement that everyone needs forgiveness. Especially me.
-
For context, I just spent a day with
@CSCleve & found her description of evangelical Christianity accurate & lamentable. Forgive us all. -
Interesting. Wonder if I'd agree. Although I'm always on the lookout for an opportunity to lament and experience never fails to provide them

You know nothing about Jesus when you are more sympathetic towards Muslims than the Christians being killed by them.

They are truly Christians in name only. Likely need to spend more time reading the book instead of beating people with it.
