Holy, sacred, pure, upstanding, noble, wholesome, etc. It's like saying a Merry Christmas or a tasty beverage. Some words can emphasize a meaning to add color or clarity. You know this. Do Christians offend you?
Not everything is about race. And white people aren't actually white, and black people aren't actually black. Colors can be symbols beyond some arbitrary race designation. In the Bible, white is designated as good, pure, holy. Jews are not white. Jesus is not white.
Sorry if I triggered a chip on your shoulder. Perhaps you can take it down once in a while.
What’s a white Christian? How is that different from a black Christian? I never knew there was a difference?

Let me phrase it this way.
I am an entrepreneur.
When you create an idea. You can file to "Patent" that idea.
So you can protect it as your work.
When you use the words "White Christian".
To me, that is signaling that you are trying to "Patent" certain values as white. Meaning no other group can claim ownership of those values.
You just mentioned "Holy, sacred, pure, upstanding, noble, wholesome".
See what you just did there?
You are saying that whites are the only ones "Holy, sacred, pure, upstanding, noble, wholesome".
You are trying to claim ownership of values.
Which automatically takes those values away from other groups.
So if I as a black man am also "Holy, sacred, pure, upstanding, noble, wholesome".
You will say it's not me being me. You will claim ownership of those values and say I am acting "white" right?
Patent?

Thanks for agreeing.,
