5 Legitimate Reasons People No Longer Trust the Church

Bigotry & Racism… 

Co-opting the name of Jesus by replacing Him with whatever suited their best interests (“white Jesus” = Eurocentric Jesus). Similar to Mary Magdala, white Jesus, is an unfortunate thing that exists.

“It’s a form of theology that does not only negate the humanity of nonwhite persons but sets the acceptable form of human existence as ‘whiteness.’ It wrongfully and detrimentally presents the Gospel within the framework of a euro-centered perspective; therefore, this theology is only taking into consideration a limited group of peoples political, social, and economic interests.” (Read more at http://www.patheos.com/blogs/andygill/white-jesus-problematic-version-jesus-eurocentric-theology-part-1/#BMdqxBjIjqidDeCO.99)

It’s not just outdated but, it’s hatefully incorrect. This is the biggest one of them all, in my opinion. It’s done more than compromise the integrity of the texts but compromised the trust between us and the Church. Millennials, are predominantly blue; we’re also predominantly inclusive (we’re anti-patriarchal, anti-white-supremacy… but, more so, we’re defined by what we’re for as opposed to being against, e.g. pro-LGBTQ, pro-science/intellect, etc.).
