Daniel DvorkinOn "real Christians."This is a lightly edited version of a post I first made several years ago on Facebook. Sadly, it never seems to stop being relevant.===Every time I hear <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Christians</a> saying "they're not real Christians" or "this isn't real <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Christianity</a>," about other Christians doing something that brings discredit on the #<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#religion</a>, my skin crawls.Because if they're not Christians ... well, neither was Constantine. Neither were the generations of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/monarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monarchs</a> who followed, invoking the divine right of kings. Neither were the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/popes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#popes</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/bishops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bishops</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/priests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#priests</a>—and note that I'm not just talking about <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Catholics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catholics</a> here—who almost universally supported and legitimized the idea that <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#God</a> had put our leaders in place, and to oppose them was <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/blasphemy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blasphemy</a>.Neither were the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Crusaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Crusaders</a>, the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Inquisitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Inquisitors</a>, the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#witch</a>-burners. Neither were the soldiers who fought generations of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/religious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#religious</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/wars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wars</a> within <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christendom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Christendom</a>, including the Thirty Years' War that wrought devastation equal to both World Wars. Neither for that matter were the politicians who gave us what we *call* the First World War, in which most of the major combatants on both sides proudly claimed the Christian label, and in several cases were still official theocracies.Neither were the Christians who rounded up their <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> neighbors in the Second for delivery to the camps—and if you claim that was the work of a <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/neopagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neopagan</a> cult that maybe a few thousand people total ever took seriously, I'll laugh in your face before cutting you out of my life. (But I'll remember who and what you are, believe me.) Neither were the people who used Christianity to justify <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/conquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conquest</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#slavery</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/segregation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#segregation</a>, for centuries, and in many cases still do.In short, if you say these people aren't Christians, you're saying most Christians throughout the *entire history of the religion* weren't Christians. You can die on that hill if you really want to. But you'll die alone, and most likely at the hands of your fellow believers.Christians are, as a rule, no worse than other people. But you're no better, either. Do you *want* to be better? Great, that's what everyone else wants too.So prove it. Stop making excuses. Own these people, and *then* confront them. Admit that they're yours, and then expunge them. Scourge the heretics with fire and sword, and send them wailing into the outer darkness tearing their hair and gnashing their teeth. Cast them into the lake of fire.If you do this, if you have first the moral and then the physical courage to face this monstrosity in your midst unflinchingly and with full knowledge of what it is, then you'll have plenty of help. <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jews</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Muslims" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Muslims</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Hindus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hindus</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Wiccans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wiccans</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/atheists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atheists</a> and all the rest won't just cheer you on. We'll be right there by your side.And while there are in the US still more Christians than all of us put together, there aren't more of *this kind* of Christian than all decent human beings put together. We can't fight them alone. Neither can you. Together we can—as long as you're honest about what that means.If you don't? We'll be right back to <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Torquemada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Torquemada</a>, with a high-tech gloss. You might live a little longer than the rest of us, but not by much, and you'll go to the rack and the stake and the oven with the words of your own holy writ shouted in your ears.Those are the only two options. Your choice.===Addendum:I have a great many friends who grew up Christian, and left the religion at some point. Despite having made the choice to walk away from their childhood faith, they often feel the reflexive need to defend the people they were, and in most cases their families still are.Those who are still Christians, of whom I trust I also have a fair number left, may feel the same impulse—although interestingly, it seems to me they're less reflexive on the whole than the former believers.We're all made of our <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#history</a>. The people we were are still the people we are, in some corner of our brains. And there are complexities about being on the inside of any group that outsiders can never quite grasp. It's similar to the way I am about the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#military</a>, which is practically a religion in its own right.Okay. Stipulated, as lawyers say on TV and maybe in real life too. I get it. Now please get this:Unless you *grew up* as a member of a religious minority, you will most likely never understand, on a gut level, the terror the majority religion inflicts by its very existence.This isn't unique to Christianity, to be clear. Every majority religion, in every time and place, has unconsciously (and often consciously as well, to be sure) been casually brutal to infidels and heretics. Nature of the beast. But here in the US, that beast invariably carries a cross, so there's the focus of my attention.You don't have to understand it. Just accept that it exists, and it leaves scars. I can live with those scars, and so can nearly everyone else who bears them. That *stigma*, if you will.But if you cut us, we still bleed. We'll heal from those wounds too, and add new scars to the old. Long after the bleeding stops, we'll remember who gave them to us.Here I stand; I can do no other. How about you?

Paul SchoeErg mooi interview met een man die zijn hele leven het woord heeft onderzocht en verkondigd en nu, in zijn emiraat, stelt dat: ,,De Bijbel is van A tot Z mensenwerk. Het boek is geschreven door verschillende schrijvers. En omdat de Bijbel literatuur is, is God een literair figuur. Wij mensen zijn de handen en voeten van God. ... Als je God ziet als het goede, zit dat in ons, mensen. Niet een God, maar wij mensen zijn in alles bepalend.”<a href="https://mastodon.nl/@fvdholst" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fvdholst</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Christendom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Christendom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#God</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Religie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Religie</a>

Dustin J. Byrd, Ph.D.The American Volksgeist is changing; it is becoming more secular, more bound to instrumental rationality, more godless (for good or bad).
