re: #227 ObserverArt

I have a very simple question. Why are modern fundamentalist religious types so hateful?

I’m not religious, but having been Catholic schooled for 12 years I did learn some of the fundamentals of the Bible and learned of the works of the saints, etc. and I don’t remember this level of hatred for humans that someone like Texas Fundies seem to have.

It almost seems like it is a cult that has more about being seen as better than everyone else than it has to do with the teachings of this guy that walked the earth and taught love…for everyone.

It has to do with control. Whites used Christianity in the US to maintain control. They’ve used it to justify slavery, segregation, subjugation of women, control of gays. But they could be nice about it because all of these people knew their place. Well, we’re reaching a point where these people no longer want to be in their place, they want to be at the table. And so whites are freaking out and threatening those who aren’t like them.
