Christianity and Racialism

[Psychonaut]

I'm very interested to hear from some of our residents who also are Christians. I'd like to know how you rationalize your belief in Christianity, which seems to have pretty heavy Hebrew influence, with your beliefs in racial and/or ethnic preservation. I've never really had the pleasure to pick the brains of someone who concurrently held these two beliefs in a highbrow forum and I'd very much like to hear what you guys have to say.

It's the contemporary liberal theology that encourages the univeral brotherhood equality chrisitanity. Those churches are going out of business. The old fashion Calvinism actually encouraged segregation ( and rationalized slavery) by focusing on the Old Testament. The OT is full of non-miscegenationist messages, for example commanding the Israelites not to marry the daughters of the Canaanites (I'm too tired at the moment to start looking up quotes). The conservative Christian Churches are actually very monoracial in makeup of their congregations. As for being a Semetic religion - the Jews rejected Jesus & the New Convenant, you can hardly call Christianity a Semetic faith. It has been a European faith even if it evolved from the Hebrew faith. But how much of the Hebrew faith was influenced by the Sumerians & Egyptians? And how much was the Heathanism of Europe was influenced by ancient migrations out of the Fertile Crescent into Europe? The Anglo-Saxon goddess Eoster (from which we get Easter in the English language - the rest of the world uses "Passover" or the local version of that word) which seems related to the Sumerian goddess Asarte. There has been plenty of cross pollination of cultures & faiths over the milleniums, that between Christianity & Hebrewism (the forerunner of Tahmudic Judaism) is more obvious.

The Hebrews have lived for thousands of years in close proximity and conflict with other racial/ethnic group, so any religion written by them should have a high degree of racial/ethnic preservationism built into it. Americ offered a very good explanation, the only point I would add/argue is that the preservationist element of Christianity came in due to the Hebrew basis, not in spite of it.

It was due to separatism which many in this day and age have forgotten.

Put no other god before him...

No worshiping false idols.

Well some people will believe in anything ...what ever floats their boat.

God openly said he was not the only one up there.

As in he said, worship no other God before me.

God gave humans free will for a reason, its up the individual to choose the path they wish to follow.
