Christian Privilege

[GrandizerII]

I don't know about focusing on the wrong argument. I just briefly mentioned that you saying something exists because it exists is circular reasoning, it's nothing major, I already said that.

What's that saying about missing the forest for the trees? Yeah, you're nitpicking, even after I emphasized that this wasn't the actual argument I was making there. Just move on.

No I don't believe that you can have white male privilege and not have the privilege a white man has.

You missed the key word "or". Consider rereading my post to see where you went wrong in your reading comprehension.

A white male has no set level of privilege, we're all different, there's a lot of us.

Then you don't accept the reality of white male privilege. And so I think, despite what you're arguing, you deny the reality of privilege as it is intended to mean in sociology.

I still don't dismiss that christian privilege exists, it just doesn't exist the way it's described in a few of those examples given.

If you say so.

I didn't get all the way through the list but I didn't see any that I benefit from as an atheist that used to be Christian, and I can already see some major flaws in what's already listed.

Ok, consider this:

Your name is Paul or George or John (something like that). And you're applying for a white collar job. You got the skills and qualifications required for the job.

Someone else whose name is Muhammad (or Ali or Hassan, etc.) also applies for the same job that you do, with the same skillset and qualifications.

Given all else equal, who's more likely to get that job between you two? Is it going to be a random choice? Or will the subconscious do the judging (as always) going by the name of the applicant?
