Yet again, Christianity is useless as some sort of moral guide.

Quote:How do white Christians ignore Trump’s obvious racism?
The question is not if President Trump is a racist.
That question was settled long ago.
The receipts are in hand.
The real question is how white Christians can possibly choose to ignore the most obvious and simple explanation. Your baptism included no requirement to defend the emperor and his propaganda. The bread and wine Christians consume at the Table never includes a commitment to ignore the emperor’s racist and dehumanizing videos and memes to pledge our allegiance to him. That never was part of the deal.
I never will allow myself to normalize the racism of Christians. It doesn’t have to be this way. We could choose to believe that racism from the social media feed of our president is disqualifying. That shouldn’t be a controversial position for baptized believers who believe every human being is created in the image of God.
But for 81% of white Evangelicals, it is not disqualifying.
I never will normalize that. I will spend the rest of my life doing all I can to maintain my belief in God despite that reality.
It is never too late to change your mind.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
