Christian Denominations - Tumblr Posts

*If you want to vote "other denomination not shown here" make sure that your denomination is not a sub-group of one of the ones already listed here (e.g. Presbyterians are Reformed/Calvinist)

Thank you for pointing out that there are still active Calvinist groups in the USA, and how many of them are high-control. I think one of the reasons folks like to reach for "Puritan/neo-Puritan" as an insult is that the Puritans don't exist anymore (they ironically assimilated into Protestantism at large), so it's kind of like calling someone backwards, clinging to dead ideas nobody believes in any longer.

Only... people do, those ideas are alive and they are going to harm more and more folks if they go unrecognized and un-confronted.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice this but it IS super weird to see so many leftists

get told they're being rampantly antisemitic

fact check (which is a good instict!)

realize they've been hitting Antisemite Bingo with every post they make

...and instead of going "oh shit, I didn't realize it was that baked into all of society, I really need to listen to more Jews about this and do better not to perpetuate hatred towards them"

they go "well, I do all of this, and I'm a good person, so those filthy Jews Zionists must secretly control the media!"

It's especially weird when they know better than to do this to any other minority, but somehow when it's Jews it's acceptible as long as you call them Zionists before hate-criming them.

This is probably why the denial is so high, though. They HAVE to believe leftist antisemitism isn't a problem, because if they believe it's a problem then THEY are the problem, and that interferes with their mental image of themselves as Righteous Revolutionaries.
