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?”

What Christians value most they receive without deserving: Forgiveness of sins and Life Everlasting.

Merited solely by the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

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

Grace. It's unmerited.

Yes. They believe they will be part of the ruling class; the elites that always rise to the top of such state-run collectivist structures. They don’t seem to remember the next phase of this pattern is when the opportunists drum up reasons to kill and replace the idealists. They’re the Trotsky phase. They don’t know what happens once the Stalinists coalesce.

"Grace. It's unmerited."

I'm sure that isn't what the professor was thinking of.

I have found that it sometimes depend on where you work and the age groups you work with. When I was working tech in the defense industry where most of my co-workers were my age or older, it was not a hindrance. Many Christians there. In the public sector where most of my co-workers are millennials and I’m old enough to be their mom, yes, it’s a hindrance. The majority are atheists.

I often say that being Christian is the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. It’s also the most rewarding. I can’t imagine living without faith.

Indeed Christians do not merit being forgiven for our sins and made children of God...but that kind of thing goes beyond "perks".

To the idiotic point the Leftists are trying to shove down our throats though: If I go to a different country where people look differently than I do and have a different culture and religion than I do, then, well, I will not have the "perk" of being surrounded by people who have the same traditions that I do, speak the same language I do, and if it really matters to me, look the same way I do. Seems it would be ridiculous of me to complain about such things and demand they change their traditions to accommodate me or re-engineer their culture so that people that look like me are artificially promoted to places of influence for my personal comfort.

These rants reek of envy and inferiority complexes; they validate the WASP culture they seek to destroy.

Christians and Jews are pretty much the only two groups that are constantly persecuted around the world.

Can’t argue with the assertion that as a Christian I receive unmerited help from Jesus. All Christians do.
