Daniel DvorkinOn "real Christians."This is a lightly edited version of a post I first made several years ago on Facebook. Sadly, it never seems to stop being relevant.===Every time I hear <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christians</a> saying "they're not real Christians" or "this isn't real <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a>," about other Christians doing something that brings discredit on the #<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a>, my skin crawls.Because if they're not Christians ... well, neither was Constantine. Neither were the generations of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/monarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monarchs</a> who followed, invoking the divine right of kings. Neither were the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/popes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#popes</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/bishops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bishops</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/priests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#priests</a>—and note that I'm not just talking about <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Catholics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Catholics</a> here—who almost universally supported and legitimized the idea that <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#God</a> had put our leaders in place, and to oppose them was <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/blasphemy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blasphemy</a>.Neither were the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Crusaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crusaders</a>, the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Inquisitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inquisitors</a>, the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#witch</a>-burners. Neither were the soldiers who fought generations of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/religious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religious</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/wars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wars</a> within <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Christendom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christendom</a>, including the Thirty Years' War that wrought devastation equal to both World Wars. Neither for that matter were the politicians who gave us what we *call* the First World War, in which most of the major combatants on both sides proudly claimed the Christian label, and in several cases were still official theocracies.Neither were the Christians who rounded up their <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> neighbors in the Second for delivery to the camps—and if you claim that was the work of a <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/neopagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neopagan</a> cult that maybe a few thousand people total ever took seriously, I'll laugh in your face before cutting you out of my life. (But I'll remember who and what you are, believe me.) Neither were the people who used Christianity to justify <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/conquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conquest</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slavery</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/segregation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#segregation</a>, for centuries, and in many cases still do.In short, if you say these people aren't Christians, you're saying most Christians throughout the *entire history of the religion* weren't Christians. You can die on that hill if you really want to. But you'll die alone, and most likely at the hands of your fellow believers.Christians are, as a rule, no worse than other people. But you're no better, either. Do you *want* to be better? Great, that's what everyone else wants too.So prove it. Stop making excuses. Own these people, and *then* confront them. Admit that they're yours, and then expunge them. Scourge the heretics with fire and sword, and send them wailing into the outer darkness tearing their hair and gnashing their teeth. Cast them into the lake of fire.If you do this, if you have first the moral and then the physical courage to face this monstrosity in your midst unflinchingly and with full knowledge of what it is, then you'll have plenty of help. <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jews</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Muslims" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Muslims</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Hindus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hindus</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Wiccans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiccans</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/atheists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atheists</a> and all the rest won't just cheer you on. We'll be right there by your side.And while there are in the US still more Christians than all of us put together, there aren't more of *this kind* of Christian than all decent human beings put together. We can't fight them alone. Neither can you. Together we can—as long as you're honest about what that means.If you don't? We'll be right back to <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Torquemada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Torquemada</a>, with a high-tech gloss. You might live a little longer than the rest of us, but not by much, and you'll go to the rack and the stake and the oven with the words of your own holy writ shouted in your ears.Those are the only two options. Your choice.===Addendum:I have a great many friends who grew up Christian, and left the religion at some point. Despite having made the choice to walk away from their childhood faith, they often feel the reflexive need to defend the people they were, and in most cases their families still are.Those who are still Christians, of whom I trust I also have a fair number left, may feel the same impulse—although interestingly, it seems to me they're less reflexive on the whole than the former believers.We're all made of our <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>. The people we were are still the people we are, in some corner of our brains. And there are complexities about being on the inside of any group that outsiders can never quite grasp. It's similar to the way I am about the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#military</a>, which is practically a religion in its own right.Okay. Stipulated, as lawyers say on TV and maybe in real life too. I get it. Now please get this:Unless you *grew up* as a member of a religious minority, you will most likely never understand, on a gut level, the terror the majority religion inflicts by its very existence.This isn't unique to Christianity, to be clear. Every majority religion, in every time and place, has unconsciously (and often consciously as well, to be sure) been casually brutal to infidels and heretics. Nature of the beast. But here in the US, that beast invariably carries a cross, so there's the focus of my attention.You don't have to understand it. Just accept that it exists, and it leaves scars. I can live with those scars, and so can nearly everyone else who bears them. That *stigma*, if you will.But if you cut us, we still bleed. We'll heal from those wounds too, and add new scars to the old. Long after the bleeding stops, we'll remember who gave them to us.Here I stand; I can do no other. How about you?

Kagan MacTane (he/him)Heat another ½ oz of Irish whiskey in the microwave until warm-to-hot; 9 seconds is symbolically nice, but your microwave may vary. Layer that *very* carefully on the Bailey's.Dim the lights and use a match to ignite the whiskey. As it burns, sprinkle powdered cinnamon over it from a height to make sparks. (This is why you put it on a plate: it catches the extra cinnamon and makes cleanup easier.) 2/3<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pagan</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Imbolc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Imbolc</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/cocktail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Brighid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brighid</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Neopagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neopagan</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Irish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Irish</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/drink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a>
