Christian Privilege

[Promethean]

Kristi Winters has released a video giving an analysis of christian privilege in America.

1. How about a first step removing belief privileges the easy way?

[bvf]

2. I would love to see that.

It would have the added benefit of reducing material costs. Twofer.

Don't see it happening, but I think it should.

[trotsky]

3. Ha, look at the panic people had...

when the dollar coins moved the religious motto to the edge instead of the coin face and they THOUGHT it was taken away. Oh my Koresh, the screams of persecution that resulted.

It SHOULD happen but it won't. Maybe someday, though.

4. Agree. That would be a great first step

and I hope to see it in my lifetime.

[trotsky]

5. Bring back the old motto!

E PLURIBUS UNUM

[NeoGreen]

6. Yes... the One and Only...

...Original US Motto...


As established by the Founding Fathers (how ever they are defined)...


Every purported motto since then has been a fabricated lie born of fear, ignorance and deliberate division...

13. Which is almost exactly the opposite of the original

7. What are "our American values"?

8. Can you provide some background on her?

I've searched and all I come out with is a handful of videos like this (there is one where she has her hair all up in rollers in preparation for a halloween party - i think it's the one where she talks about the psychology of atheism). And there is the 12 piece series "The 12 days of Kristi", which seems to focus on things going on in her town around christmas.

On some videos I see her referred to as Dr. Kristi Winters, but I'm having trouble seeing what her actual credentials are.

I'd appreciate and information you could give me.

9. This was at the top of an internet search for her.

I use Ixquick, the big name search engines have shifted towards who gives them more money over what is actually important.

10. Thanks. This didn't come up for me, but glad to know there

is a better search engine when it comes to things like this.

I've not heard of GESIS (kind of an ironic name in light of her field of interest, lol). It looks like it supports social science research in Germany and that she is in the Data ARchive for social sciences section.

Her primary area of interest seems to be voting behavior in the UK and qualitative analysis of data related to this.

I don't see anything at the GESIS site related to her interest in atheism/theism.

If it weren't for the photo, I would wonder if this were even the same person.

It looks like her interest in religion is kind of a side line composed primarily of the videos she makes.

11. Sorry your attempt at character assassination failed.

Bummer, huh? Well at least you got to cast a few aspersions anyway.

[Promethean]

12. Heh I was thinking exactly the same thing when she asked.

Also the same page I linked shows her history working on a political campaign for Democrats here in the states before continuing her education in the UK and Germany.

[trotsky]

15. It's an obvious pattern, for sure.

Makes for an interesting contrast when she goes on a tear like that against a person, then in another thread complains of others using ad homs. Then also complains about people labeling arguments as fallacies. Then doesn't realize that saying "ad hom" is labeling someone else's argument a fallacy.

Just another day in the Religion group with cbayer presiding!

14. Don't feel bad..that's at the top of a Google search too

Whatever "search" our friend tried to do was apparently intended to allow her to feign a lack of knowledge and get her potshots in before facts intruded.
