The futility of distancing one's self from racial supremacy while worshiping an ethnocentric god is lost on the faithful.

I think that alone speaks for itself against any form of prejudice in the New Testament.
For every "nice" verse in the bible there are at least three horrible ones.
You can use it to justify any position good or bad.
You just need to know where to look.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Starting to realize where the hard edge against religionists is coming from.
I certainly have met reasonable, intelligent Christians. But if you were surrounded by nothing but losers like this, that would definitely give me an axe to grind.
The axe was irrelevant by the time I was ten. I simply wanted to survive my childhood and get on with my life.

Congrats on having done so. Glad you made it.

And we know this is not disinformation from God Himself how ?
2 Thessalonians 2 (KJV)
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Actually, I don't think that I know anyone (where I am in Pennsylvania) who is really racist (No matter what their faith or lack there of is). There may be some who use some non-pc language or make comments that they probably should not. But I can't think of any that are truly racist or think that a person is lesser, because of the where there family comes from, or what they look like.

I see some interesting caveats to racism, lol. You do know racists..and you do know it. You feel compelled to make excuses. You do you.
