Christianity Allows Me To Be Racist, Says William Wolfe
Christianity loves racism, says Christian Nationalist William Wolfe.
The Woodlands Bible Church helps him preach a religion of racist hate.
Recently, William Wolfe spoke at the Year of the Patriot Conference, an event held at The Woodlands Bible Church in The Woodlands, Texas. The event was organized by the True Texas Project,
Wolfe is the founder and executive director of the Center for Baptist Leadership, a Southern Baptist organization dedicated to keeping the government of the United States under Christian control and radicalizing the Christianity of the US federal government with “an uncompromising commitment to Scripture”.
The topic of Wolfe’s lecture at the event was “The Church’s Response to Mass Immigration”. Here’s a part of what he had to say, as revealed by Right Wing Watch.
“I'm a Bible believing Christian, and we're going to get into why Bible believing Christians can very easily say “It’s time for you to go.”
I have three boys, and I got a fourth boy on the way, and my boys all look like me, and I want my children to grow up in a country where they're not minorities.
I unapologetically, and I'm sorry if this offends anybody here or anybody who listens to this. I am actually not sorry. I want my boys to grow up in a country where they don't look like they're the foreigners here.
That's a good and normal and reasonable thing. There's nothing about my Christian faith that says I can't want that or desire that for myself and for my children.”
It may be a normal thing for people in many Christian churches to talk about needing to keep the white people in the majority in the United States, but it’s not normal outside of those churches.
It’s not reasonable for William Wolfe to argue that his children should be given special legal privileges that depend on the abuse of other people, on no basis other than their ethnic identity. It’s not reasonable in the sense of being moderate, and it’s not reasonable in the sense of rational argument. There certainly is no reason within William Wolfe’s claim that his faith gives him and his family the right to racial privileges. Faith is inherently unreasonable. It’s about people believing what they do because it makes them feel good, regardless of the logical consequences.
William Wolfe says that it’s good to transform the United States into a totalitarian ethnostate so that he can be assured that his children won’t have to look at many dark-skinned people. Given that this totalitarian transformation involves the eradication of the civil liberties guaranteed by the US Constitution, there’s little reason for rational Americans to agree with him.
William Wolfe is willing to sacrifice the freedom of his children in order to create a Christian Nationalist government that hunts down people for no other reason than their ethnic identity, sending them off to Donald Trump’s concentration camps. He’s trying to create a nation of prisons just because people of different ancestry make him feel uncomfortable.
Christianity, William Wolfe says, gives him the space to feel that racist urge, and to indulge it. That much we can agree with William Wolfe on. Christianity is a breeding ground for racist hatred. Too many churches like the Woodlands Bible Church are radicalizing Americans into fascism.
Under the leadership of people like William Wolfe, hatred has become a Christian value.
