Ripley's Do You Believe In Life After Love

Can my Indigenous ass say the progressive christian impulse to no-true-scotsman their entire religion, appealing to "what jesus actually taught", *specifically* in a way that points to "modern" christianity as deviating from this, implying it used to be better, is completely fucking bonkers. You can't RETVRN your way out of genocide. Christianity has been about pillaging for the last 2000 years & if you sincerely want to change this I can respect that but be so fucking fr when you talk about how "modern christianity" isn't what jesus taught. Neither was the roman empire innit

I've said this before but it's all so....... "this isn't what jesus taught" is like, step 1 of recognizing the hypocrisy. But then nobody wants to keep thinking about it past that point. It's been lies justifying unfathomable violence this whole time

& if you want to play that game the christian bible also says to convert the entire world so. It's not looking great. The pillaging is kind of a central pillar of the ideology. Or did you just think the problem with christianity was homophobia, or some nebulous concept of racism that's simply "hate" and doesn't include robbing people of their cultures

"Why are all these white christians racist all of a sudden? :(" I have terrible news about how the last 2000 years have been going

never stops being existentially horrifying to realize that someone you're talking to thinks that there is any kind of biological basis for "race" like the amount of people who are like 'racism is bad, of course race is a real scientific thing it's just bad to treat people differently because of it' and it's like no there is no biological or scientific basis for race it's purely a social concept. a dark skinned black person and a very pale white person can share more dna than two black people or two white people like it's all made up you can't tell someone's genetic or biological makeup just by looking at them. it's all socially constructed and there are massive consequences for this construction but anyone who tries to say that there is any kind of scientific basis for race whether they're knowingly purposely racist or trying to be "progressive" is wrong and realizing that someone you're talking to in a completely benign situation dead seriously thinks that such a thing as a "white race" actually scientifically exists is so terrifying
