I’m going to go ahead and let people guess what kind of group set up this orphanage? (1)
Don’t tell me not all Christians. Until I see those who don’t do this or finance it condemning the white savior complex that comes with Christian indoctrination then it is all Christians. Because these abuses and crimes are directly tied to Christian indoctrination. (2)
If we really wanted to help children in Haiti (or anywhere really because I can tell you horror stories of orphanages and non-profits in Mexico) then we’d support their economy, we’d support the entire family groups, their living parents, we’d demand better of churches and (3)
Non-profits. But what I see is Christians celebrating ppl’s decisions to “follow Jesus” when they are coerced to convert when Christians leverage ppl’s need against their beliefs. (4)
I have yet to see Christians celebrate people having a better quality of life if they choose a different belief system. If it is heaven Christians are concerned with, then it should begin with ‘on earth as it in heaven’, not an obscure after life nobody knows much about (5)
I’m tired of privileged people doing harm to POC in the name of God. I’m tired of Christians being obsessed w/a damn prayer but not caring whether that same ppl have enough to eat or if they are being treated right. (6)
I’m tired of Christians believing they are doing their job by coercing the poor and disenfranchised to raise their hands and say “ok Jesus.” The white supremacy veiled in piety is the most disgusting display of corruption and abuse. (7)
If churches and non-profits aren’t training their teams on equity, intrinsic biases, white supremacy as a system we are all under, power differentials, abuse, oppression... at all times, then they r just sending abusers into the world when they put teams & ministries together (8)
We can all demand better of churches and non-profits. If you have ever given a tithe, or a donation, then you can demand better and ask questions. They are using your money after all.
