Belief in white Jesus linked to racism

The site, for some reason, is not allowing me to copy and paste the article. Therefore, you will have to visit the above link.

Not sure we needed a study for that.

RE: Belief in white Jesus linked to racism
You know how it is: white people don't want to kneel in front of a black man, and black people don't (usually) want to kneel in front of a white man, and Asians also don't want to kneel in front of a non-Asian - so they each imagine this "totally historical" person in their own way as if he is Santa Claus.
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"

Not sure why a skin-colour qualifier is needed in the title. 'Belief in Jesus linked to racism' seems sufficient.

It's the title of the article. I simply didn't deviate.

With the usage of that language, I can't tell if you're about to stab me in the back with a knife or a little lower with something else.

lol, you'll have to settle for neither. I call almost everyone 'luv' at some point.

Shit, you two just made me waste a bag of popcorn.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Some say man was created in god' s image. But a cursory glance at the gods of the world's different regions clearly show it to be the other way around.

Gods are created in man' s image.
