Wacky Wednesday--Christianity is responsible for much injustice.

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~Christians aren’t any better people than non-christians.
~The Church has seriously oppressed people in the name of Christ.
~Christians don’t share their wealth with the needy.
~The Church doesn’t demonstrate the kind of acceptance and cross-racial, cross-cultural community it says it believes in.
~Sunday morning at 11:00 is the most segregated hour in America.
~Violence in the name of Christ has been abominably common.
~Christianity advocates people become fanatics.
~If you’re the “people of God,” that sure sounds like a pretty broad invitation to treat others as inferiors.
