(ChurchLeaders) If you looked at Twitter today, you might have noticed the hashtag #Christianity and #CancelChristianity trending on that platform. On the best of days, Twitter can be a mixed bag. But when the world is in the throes of a pandemic and mass protests resulting from racial tension, Twitter feels more like a war zone.
Shots have been fired lately over “white Jesus” or the depiction of Jesus as a white man, and the debate has sparked the #CancelChristianity trend. Some are using the hashtags to point out how Christianity has been used as a crutch for white supremacist ideologies while others don’t agree and feel like their religious beliefs are being attacked.
