All Men Created Equal?

I found this rather interesting article on another website where it was talking about a pastor who had been found wanting in the morality dept. There was in fact more than one man found wanting in the integrity dept. But how were they treated in the Christian press? Here's how. The article was written by Josephine Melrose.

"It's a fact that Christianity Today founded by Billy Graham did not report immediately on one of its own pastors ***** ******* of Harvest Baptist Church in Fort Worth, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's board chairman. A man who resigned amid sexual misconducts allegations when he was accused of having sexual relationships with two women who sought counseling.

But it did report about the adultery of a black man and a National Baptist but not about the adultery of a white man and Southern Baptist. An adultery that was more hideous and gross because ******* raped unsuspecting trusting women, while ***** (the black man's) adulterous relationships were consensual.

(Original article written by Josephine Melrose. Names of pastors removed by blog author)

Two men committed similar acts of immorality, but only one man was reported about, in all probability solely due to the color of his skin.

RACIST CHRISTIANS, REPENT OF YOUR RACIST BIGOTRY!

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uv 2 MEET JANE ELLIOT AND SHAKE HER HAND N THANK N 4 HER TO DO MORE ON TV LIKE THIS.ITS A SHAME THAT WE WIL PROBABLY NEVER SEE HER LIKE THIS ON TV,AS IT HAS UPSET TO MANY WHITE PEOPLE AND WE DONT WANT TO DO THAT, DO WE.PUT SHOWS ON TV, THAT DEGRADE THE PERSON OF COLOUR, THATS OK.AS WE ARE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS..IT ABOUT TIME THAT VIEW CHANGED. FOR ALL PEOPLE TO REALISE THAT COLOR ISNT THE PROBLEM, WAR IS, STARVATION IS, POVERTY IS..ETC.

2. I thought the experiment was a good idea. I had read about her work before so knew some things about the blue/brown eyed test. I think the only problem may have been as a result of the IQ test done - which gave the game away a bit and took the debate down the wrong path. But it was interesting. I thought it as a pitty the interviewer tried to get Jane to admit all whites were racists. I think he wanted to make a statement of his own - Jane is not a psychologist herself and such a stereotype statement probably did more harm than good. Remember We see things not as they are, but how we are. But a good debate nonetheless and I am glad a watched it. When she reduced the interviewer by asking about the lynching - that was amazing. He's a good interviewer and I had never seen him crumble before. That Jane is quite something.
