“Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.[1][2][3] It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity.[2] Modern variants of racism are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. These views can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems in which different races are ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities.[2][3] “ “It is reasonable to ask what the characteristics of a true religion might be expected to be, and then compare Christianity against those expectations. This is not an unfair thing to do because, like other religions, Christianity purports to possess characteristics that can pertain only to an institution appointed by God. The following list contains some of the characteristics that Christians have claimed for their faith, and that a disinterested observer might reasonably expect the one true religion to possess*: The tenets, doctrines and practices of the religion should be distinctive and original. The tenets, doctrines and practices of the religion should be clear and unambiguous. Doctrines should be free from error. The religion should be internally consistent. Doctrines should not be contradictory or lead to absurd or irrational conclusions, nor depend upon irrational arguments. The religion should be unchanging and not culturally determined. Access to the religion should be equally available to all people. The religion should be fair. It should not favour any one group of people or put another at a disadvantage. Adherents should be united in their divinely inspired belief. In other words they should all believe the same things. The one true religion might be expected to be noticeably superior to other, false, religions. It should be possible to distinguish the one true religion from other belief systems. The religion should be a force for good in the world. The religion should not be intellectually dishonest. In the links above, each of these attributes are assessed against the record of Christianity. The end result is that Christianity dismally failed the test. It fails to rise above other religions in a fashion that would suggest that it is a true religion. Rather it contains all of the hallmarks of a man-made belief system.” The books of the Bible were selected by humans for canonical purposes, The Bible has interpolations in it, and The Bible has been tampered with. Religious texts are imperfect , filled with gray areas, and contradictory, life is imperfect, filled with gray areas, and contradictory, and humans are imperfect, filled with gray areas, and contradictory. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
