Fake news... if you read scripture, this is not true. The word of God is Christianity (which christian means disciple/follower of Christ). The Assyrians first used the Christian and all true followers have not imperialized anything, while those who are called ‘leaders of the church’

Keep us posted and why this is it is necessary to specify Christianity as such as White Christianity.

Chip - Do you believe this to be true or are you posting it for other reasons?
Here are just a few of the reasons I disagree with this author:
To deny original innocence is to deny the origins of creation, something no knowledgeable Christian would espouse.
Compartmentalizing Christians by the color of their skin is an absurdity as the Christian faith was for the Jew first, then to the Greek. Christians are Christians regardless of heritage or race and if there is fault to be found it is not with the faith, it is with the heart of those acting improperly, immorally or criminally.
There is no such thing as White American Christianity and even if there was, its 'roots' are not set in 'Colonial Empire Building' and saying so is nothing more than promoting a popular notion that Christianity is bad and white Christians are the worst of the lot - nothing more than stereotyping which we all know is an untruth. For if the stereotype is not true of all, it is untrue.
I could go on for a long time with this one but will stop at this point and remind those feeling superior to others in some way that "There is none righteous, no not one" "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Have a great day!
