Wake Forest Religion Professor: Christianity “Fundamentally Evil”
The Western Journal ^ | 04/05/2018 | Rob Shimshock

Posted on 04/07/2018 2:12:28 PM PDT by aimhigh

A Wake Forest University religion professor thinks it is not just illogical to believe in God, but also immoral, according to a Wednesday report.

Dr. Jarrod Whitaker specializes in South Asian religions at the North Carolina school and also allegedly asserted that belief in an objective truth “is the most tremendous evil that is responsible for all the great suffering in the world,” reported The Wake Forest Review.

The professor would perpetually “explain why Christian theology is problematic, racist, sexist, imperialist, and fundamentally evil,” Whitaker’s Catholic student John told the Review, who kept his identity concealed.

I’m waiting for this valiant “religion professor” to make similar public statements about Islam.

I’m waiting......still waiting....

Guess he’s not been following the religion of Islam and their beliefs in the slaughter of innocents in the most barbaric ways imaginable.

Isn’t Wake Forest a Baptist University?

So much for science.

I believe that some in his league are pondering how best to get us into camps, and efficient ways of dealing with our bodies.

Heh. Subjectivism inherently saws off the branch on which it sits.

Every time I see someone with this level of delusion, I cannot help but laugh. Christianity is solely responsible for opposing slavery throughout history. The “atheist” governments in history, have been responsible for the worst human slaughters since events have been written down.

Let’s have that debate.

Consider communism, which is an officially athestic ideology. How many millions died due to communism? I believe it’s in the tens if millions who were killed due to this athestic ideology.

Is he going to be like Obama, and tell us to get off our high horse because of something that happened during the Crusades?

But then will he also ignore Muslim slaughter happening today , or is Islam exempt from his criticism?

"Does he hold that as an objective truth?" HTB asked sweetly.

We were warned.
“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ “ (John 15: 18-25

You know, we are going to have to rid our country of people such as these, at some point. How will we do it? Where will we send them?

I thought there was a Baptist seminary there and the Baptist claim it as a Baptist campus.
