“Told again and again that they are the dominant sex, created to rule over and have dominion over not just women but the earth, the land, its animals, and all things on earth—it's often a rude awakening for young, white Christian men when they enter the world and find that most created things are not interested in being ruled over by them.”

~ Ibid., p. 48

(continued from /5):

"On first read, maybe you'd think that means we're taught that we look like God. But ‘no one has ever seen God,’ so when you learn that you're created in God's image—as most young, white Christian boys and men have learned—then it makes sense that you think, ‘God must look like me.’”

~ Ibid., quoting John 1:18

“Many white American Christians are pretty sure they know what God looks like. Most of us won't really say it explicitly, of course: that would invite critique and the possibility that one of our most closely held but unexamined truths could be exposed as false. But most of us heard growing up that we were created in God's image."

~ Ibid., p 43

It's Insulting to Suggest that you can't be #Moral if you don't Believe in #God | #ChristopherHitchens
#JupitarStar
Apr 12, 2025 #bible #religion #morality
In this unforgettable moment, Christopher Hitchens delivers one of his most powerful and unapologetic arguments against the claim that morality requires belief in God. With his signature wit and razor-sharp intellect, Hitchens dismantles the notion that #atheism and #ethics are incompatible, exposing the arrogance and danger of such thinking. "It's Insulting to Suggest that You Can't Be Moral if You Don't Believe in God"is more than a statement—it's a bold defense of human conscience, reason, and the capacity for goodness without divine command. Watch as Hitchens challenges assumptions and sparks a conversation that’s as relevant today as ever.
