We all understand and acknowledge how offensive and horrific "the N-Word" is in the political climate of today, but how about the past? Can we forgive the Bible for not including it as a mortal sin, or having it's utterance barred in the Ten Commandments? Since God never expressly stated he was anti-racism, maybe he is secretly advocative of the use of hateful, ignorant slurs...perhaps he chuckles silently to himself every time a white supremacist uses hate speech on the internet. These are the questions we are forced to ask ourselves in a Post-Floyd World.
However, this is something that can and should be addressed. Why can't hate speech be added to the list of mortal sins? It is time we firmly and powerfully made the statement: "God Is Anti-Racist".
What are your thoughts on the best way to enforce anti-racism within the religious community?
