Wake Forest Religion Professor: Christianity “Fundamentally Evil”
The Western Journal ^ | 04/05/2018 | Rob Shimshock

A Wake Forest University religion professor thinks it is not just illogical to believe in God, but also immoral, according to a Wednesday report.

Dr. Jarrod Whitaker specializes in South Asian religions at the North Carolina school and also allegedly asserted that belief in an objective truth “is the most tremendous evil that is responsible for all the great suffering in the world,” reported The Wake Forest Review.

The professor would perpetually “explain why Christian theology is problematic, racist, sexist, imperialist, and fundamentally evil,” Whitaker’s Catholic student John told the Review, who kept his identity concealed.

Or any religion except Christianity.

He might be able to pulll off saying the same thing about Judaism if he clloacked it in the appropriate anti Israel smoke screen, but I’m not sure.

He specifically seems to believe it against Christianity specifically, so I’d guess he must LOVE Islam.

Is he Muslim?

Does calling Christianity “Fundamentally Evil” constitute blaspheming the Holy Spirit? I guess he will find out, soon.

“During the Baptist State Convention of 1833 at Cartledge Creek Baptist Church in Rockingham, North Carolina, establishment of Wake Forest Institute (later Wake Forest University) was ratified.[12] Wake Forest University was founded after the North Carolina Baptist State Convention purchased a 600-acre (2.4 km2) plantation from Dr. Calvin Jones in an area north of Raleigh (Wake County) called the “Forest of Wake.” The new school, designed to teach both Baptist ministers and laymen, opened on February 3, 1834, as the Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute, named because students and staff were required to spend half of each day doing manual labor on the plantation. Dr. Samuel Wait, a Baptist minister, was selected as the “principal,” later president, of the institute.”


Another religious institution that has lost its way.

“The persecution is going to get severe one of these days.”

Truth. Meanwhile, while we are still heavily armed—and this backed by God and our Founders’ bequeath—keep a hair-trigger and your side-eye out!

Seriously? I’d never have believed it. Well, it has been 50 years since our last 3-on-3 set. I have read a book of his which he wrote in the 80s; it was fairly straight-up Christianity. Too bad.

Liberals believe all “good folks go to heaven”. Just find your own way and be sincere - it’s going to be ok and work out.

95-98% of the World’s population is on the broad way to destruction in hell. The joke is on the “prof”.

Matthew 7:13-14:
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me where non-Theists get their moral codes.

I believe that some in his league are pondering how best to get us into camps, and efficient ways of dealing with our bodies.

American weenie leftists are incapable of rounding up a kleenex to catch a sneeze. There’s not a bigger group of cowards and 50 IQ apes than American leftists.

Christianity calls me an idol worshiper, therefore Christianity is evil. Obviously not a logician.

“He said that to believe in God is one of the most immoral things you can do, and to believe there is an objective Truth is the most tremendous evil that is responsible for all the great suffering in the world.”

This guy is a schmuck that is the nicest thing I can say about him.
His statement makes me sad I love God and I find this mans statement hurtful and shameful.

He mocks that which he does not understand.

For his own sake, he needs to wake up.

Romans 1:22 KJV

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
