Polls: Religion & Spirituality

Across many religions, light is associated with good and purity, while darkness is associated with evil and corruption. For example, Satan is often called the Lord of Darkness and demons are often portrayed with dark skins. Meanwhile, God is often portrayed as a brilliant white light and despite Jesus growing up in Jerusalem and likely being dark in complexion, he is often portrayed as a Caucasian man with blonde/brown hair. Even the Archangel Michael is given the appearance of a white male.

Now how does this relate to racism? In this world, we have people that have Jesus/Angels phenotypic features from movies and paintings and then we have black people that look nothing like them and more in keeping with Satan's complexion. It's not far fetch to conclude that a lot of white/fair skin people could use this to justify their racism towards black people, as well as, embolden their belief of being seen as superior and good.

In addition, by already having this warped view in your mind at a young age, you might already have biasness in place to mistrust or look for bad traits in a black person over that of a white person.

I hear things like "everyone is a Christian even Richard Dawkins" or "Isaac Newton was a Christian". to some extent that's true - if you believe in Catholic morality and intellectually transforming the earth into a monoculture - that doesn't actually exist in reality - then you're a catholic. as far as I can tell if you can't have a voice in this society if you aren't a Catholic in that sense - nothing has changed since the dark ages. the greatest evil to ever exist is anything that isn't Catholic - in that sense. guess who I'm talking about. currently that would be netanyahu.

Do you think Christianity will be studied like Greek mythology some day?

I think the belief that all people are created equal is no more or less a fact than the belief that God exists, so there is no essential difference. Both may be true, or may not be true. No one knows for sure. Beliefs about both have varied, depending on what time period in history and what part of the world you live in.

And the argument that "all people are created equal because they are" is NOT a strong argument. It is no different than arguing that "God exists because he does."
