George Washington University is hosting a seminar on combating “Christian privilege” in America.

According to an event description, students in a 90-minute training session will learn about ways American Christians receive things they don’t deserve and are not worthy of getting: “How do we…acknowledge that Christians receive unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country?”

Not surprised that Christians get underserved benefits. It’s called Divine Mercy, and it is free whenever we call upon Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We pray to Him, we trust in Him, We adore Him.

I really has nothing to do with skin color. More to do with Divine Mercy which is indeed undeserved, However, it is available to everyone on earth. Just call upon Jesus. He is waiting for you! Do it!

ASSUMING these claims are say, 1% accurate, I would think it would be up to the GIVERS of said perks be the judges of how “merited” said recipients are.

From what I have observed, just as many blacks and Hispanics are “Christian” (or at least go to church a lot), as White people...maybe more.

I suspect the complainers in this case are not white, and not Christian...but small minded people looking for handouts.

The overwhelming majority of blacks in the United States are Christians. How does that affect this ridiculous claim?

Ask yourself why Christians get more “perks” or in other words, live better.

Timothy Kane will discuss how American Christians have “easier” lives and get “built-in advantages over non-Christians” as well as making “room for all religious and secular identities on an equal playing field.”

I’ll admit that Christians have an easier life than most non-Christians (well, in this country anyway, not so much in Muslim countries)

The moral code and rules that Christians live by make their lives more sedate and simpler.

The honesty that and civility of Christians make them good friend, neighbors and coworkers. People generally like Christians and respect them.

Being Christian isn’t always easy. It is often difficult.

Being Christian isn’t a privilege, it’s a gift, a gift from God.

White Christians tend to work for all they have. It’s the difference between government cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Embrace the suck.

What specifically are the “unmerited perks” that Christians receive?

People in the world often hate to hear the call to repent. Folks in Hell wish they could hear it just once more.

Well how does that compare to the 24 hour bs spewed at the welfare people?

This weekend I was working on my rental in a moderately poor neighborhood. A little black boy on a half size bike with a banana seat was cruising slowly by. He apparently saw some people down the street and yelled in a loud voice, “Hey, you want to buy some pot?” I didn’t hear the answer but he apparently had to clarify, “Marihuana...okay, just look me up next time.”

Somehow, I just don’t see a similarly young white boy acting that way.

White people get along. They are civilized. That’s why life is easier for them.

White IQ helps, too.

“Substitute the word “Jews” for “Christians” for this seminar, and this clown would be out of a job in roughly one second.”

Depends on the campus. Most liberal ones hate Jews on roughly the same amount as they hate Christians.

“How do we…acknowledge that Christians receive unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country?”

First, by offering some evidence that it's true.

Without white people there would be no basketball.
Outside of a Chicago noone would have ever heard of Oprah or Obama.
And few would know what Rap music is.

Their response is usually, "Oh, we don't hate Jews, we just oppose Zionism." That's their cover.

"The overwhelming majority of blacks in the United States are Christians."

Good point, yet the professor seems to assume that all Christians are white. Not only are many blacks Christians, but most Latinos and Filipinos.

My first job I worked sun up to sun down on a farm. Up north where the days were long. Hard work. I was 11, almost kept up with the men and was paid $2 a day plus room and board.

And I’m not that old.

Being a Christian means I get to work and keep working. I had a business failure so now I have to work twice as hard to catch back up.

If I wasn’t a Christian I could be rich in a year. Once had a guy show me how he ran his high end prostitution business off shore. Zero risk of jail. Several million a year. Constant access to beautiful young women.

Now I know there is no life in that kind of life. And I know enough to eschew eternal damnation. But from the point of view of these fools - tell me about my privilege again?
