“What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other.

I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels. Never was there a clearer case of “stealing the livery of the court of heaven to, serve the devil in.”" - Frederick Douglass

That Christianity of the land, of the South, never went away. Fredrick Douglass is only like 5~ generations away from us today and many churches have never changed from being corrupt and wicked and bad. Denying food to people cutoff by food stamps, closing their giant stadiums during floods, using their God's name to get their congregation to buy them a new private jet, and are right now, using the literal actual (orange) depiction of sloth and gluttony to hurt "the people he needs to be hurting" for them. They still celebrate their kills and there's been a surge of lynchings of black and brown folk.

On a less dreadful note, I know one of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's descendants! I forget how many grands- there are in her lineage, but she is my favorite modern day feminist, the most badass woman I've ever met and am glad to call a friend!
