Christian Privilege
#3
RE: Christian Privilege
Jew and Muslim privilege is probably real too depending on where you work.  

Being a Christian might help you out in some work places but no place that I've ever worked. I'd say they're definitely in the minority of people I've worked with, most people I work with and talk about religion are either atheist or Muslim.  I think America takes Christianity more seriously than the UK though.  

There are rumors in my workplace of Muslims being privileged because the call center people are Muslim and they can get their days off sorted out quicker, this is coming from the Muslims, they brag about it.  I don't really believe them though because I'm not Muslim never have a problem getting whatever I want sorted out myself.

These simplistic labels of privilege really annoy me though, I expressed it before with white privilege which could be seen to be bias because I am white, but I'm not Christian and this label of Christian privilege equally annoys me.  There's a million different types of advantages and disadvantages and situations where a previous advantage could be a disadvantage. 

 A Christian having an advantage in a specific situation because they're Christian is real, but it's not real as in it's something they have, all the time, it's not attached to them if they go to a Muslim country.  Or if you're the wrong type of Christian and get caught up in some sectarian conflict.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
