re: Video of Joel Osteen's Church Passing Collection Plates to Flood Evacuees

Fair point, but can we not ignore how the dirty hands of American Protestantism?. From its genesis, it used race superiority politics to push many of its aims. It aligned itself with imperialism and colonialism, and conquering and dominating indigenous people/groups. Its behind the theft of resources and people from colonialized nations. Its behind the largest slaughters of ethnic groups in the 20th century (Germany and Belgium). And it has been weaved into our collective economic principles of capitalism (for good and bad).

Yet there is nothing remotely close to this found in the teachings of JC. Nothing.
