THE END
American Christianity Has a Hypocrisy Problem
"American Christianity became a clanging cymbal when it sent missionaries to other countries but refused to accept these same "foreigners" into their homeland....(and) created destabilization throughout the world by enthusiastically endorsing military interventions and devious foreign policies...this pattern doesn't glorify God, and it became a form of colonization disguised as religious charity.
American Christianity became a noisy gong when it gained political, social, cultural, and economic power at the expensive of vilifying LGBTQ individuals, oppressing people of color, deporting immigrants, denying refugees, abusing children, and assaulting women.
American Christianity promised eternal salvation in heaven while refusing to save refugees on earth.
American Christianity promoted citizenship in God's kingdom while denying citizenship to asylum seekers. American Christianity evangelized under the premises of grace and mercy while ruthlessly deporting people using cruelty and legalism. American Christianity claimed to be based on the pillars of truth and honesty, but endorsed politicians who lie and cheat. American Christianity pretended to worship the Prince of Peace while perpetuating endless wars across the world. American Christianity paid lip service to love and acceptance, but thrives on fear and oppression.
American Christianity became nothing when it promoted salvation by grace through a middle-eastern refugee who was arrested, incarcerated, tortured, and given the death penalty under Roman law, but refused to address a broken justice system infested with police brutality, unjust incarceration rates, state-sponsored torture, and the immorality of capital punishment.
American Christendom was founded upon the genocide of Indigenous nations, and the few who survived were enslaved, along with those brought in from the African continent....the patriotism American Christianity...is a revisionist lie that celebrates generations of white supremacy and the brutal suppression of others..."heretics" were killed, "witches" burned, humans sold as chattel, and all of this was baptized under the rationalization of "Christian law" and "missions."
The American Church must validate their pain, and accept our horrific failures. Religiosity, theology, nationalism, and patriotism were used to cloak our atrocities..."
