How can someone be both Christian and racist?

Discussion in 'Religion, Beliefs and Spirituality' started by Champawattiger, Apr 8, 2014.

  1. I was hanging out with a female friend today, and apparently her dad flipped shit when he found out we were hanging out. She didn't even have to tell me how racist he was; I already knew after hearing about how conservative and religious he was. All I did was guess, and she looked at me and replied"very". It's not even like that, she has a boyfriend and we smoke and play video games is all. I don't understand though, how can you be Christian, but hate someone else for no reason? It's not like I'm some trashy, gun toting gangster. I'm just a poor brown college kid trying to find his niche in life :/.

  2. Hypocrisy isn't a human only attribute, but we sure as hell rock it.. My dad is a "Christian" and I remember growing up, if I was ever watching Family Matters he'd say "Why are you watching that nigger show?" and I would just look at him like 'really..' Not all Christians are like that, most aren't/shouldn't be, but there are some who claim to be accepting of others, but what they really mean is they're accepting of others who are exactly like them. Those who are different are evil and can burn in hell..
     
    And he doesn't hate you for no reason, he hates you cause you're brown.. if that makes you feel any better.. lol

    You can't maybe someone should teach her judgmental dad's ass about Jesus Christ's teachings on judgment.
     
  6. Im also a poor brown college kid lol, i liked the way you described it. But seriously they aren't true Christians just as Islamist extremist aren't considered to be true Muslims by other Muslims.

    There are a lot of Christians--particularly southern ones-- who have been taught and encouraged to be racist, especially in terms of interracial dating (I know you and the conservative girl aren't together though). I went to a very country middle school in a small town and I met kids who were told that if you dated outside your race you would go to hell.
     
  8. Why would anyone believe its contradictory to be both racist and christian?  After all, the bible does encourage slavery.
     
    However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you.  You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.  You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.  You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.  (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
     
  9. Oh, and here's something I forgot to say, her dad is the chief of police in my town..

  11. fuck that shit dude i'd find another smoke buddy.
     
  12. I hear christians cite the OT pretty regularly.
     
  13. I was being sarcastic.  But your statement is interesting.  I think most of the bible was written by a bunch of assholes looking for a way to control the masses.
     
  14. Its almost a requirement.
     
  15. Fuck that noise. That's the last thing you need to be fucking with. 
     
  16.  
     
    Racist cops and brown folk don't mix too good.  Get the fuck outta there.  He can set you up for a bust.

  19. People twist religion for their own reason.
