To be Episcophobic
Hatred of Christians and Christianity.
Distinct in its acknowledgment of the 360 Million persecuted Christians across the globe, as opposed to a focus on the western world.
Used particularly against people who assume all Christian’s are white republicans and in doing so, undermine the beliefs and faith of millions of diverse Christians across the globe.

Emma: I hate Christianity, it is a white mans religion, Christians should be ostracised.
Emily: Hey, you have a right to your own opinion, but don’t be Episcophobic, millions of Christian’s are suffering persecution and death for no reason other than their faith. Just because some Republicans have twisted the teachings, it is not reflective of the diverse community of Christians around the globe.
Emma: I don’t care, Christian’s suck.
Emily: Episcophobia is often overlooked because there is a heavy focus on western, capitalist Christianity, which preaches excess and the prosperity gospel. This allows the persecution and routine executions do Christians in other nations to go unnoticed, it’s a harmful thing to do and very much problematic.

Get the Episcophobia mug.members of the Episcopal Church. basically, the religion of rich people. episcopalians are always rich. seriously, go to a church parking lot and it'll be all luxury cars. find out what they do for jobs and you'll find they mostly work in business and professional jobs. mostly concentrated in wealthy northeastern suburbs. usually attend prestigious private schools. WASPy and preppy. don't deny it fellow whiskypalians, you know it's true.

Get the episcopalian mug.Before we begin...no...it's not the diet where you reduce your meat consumption to fish and chicken.
Episcopalian refers to a Christian who adheres to the Episcopal Church of the United States and any other Church that calls itself 'Episcopal' with a capital "E." The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which is a group of self governing Anglican Churches headed by the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Episcopal Church, along with the other Anglican/Episcopal bodies, act like a blend between 90% Roman Catholicism, 3% Calvinism, and 7% Baptist. Hence being neither Protestant nor Catholic, rather a nice blend between both because Queen Elizabeth needed to satisfy two very powerful Christian groups in a short period of time before they all murdered one another and her in a bid for superiority.
Priests in the Episcopal Church are allowed to be men, women, or non binary; gay, straight; celibate or non (in the confines of marriage). Bishops act as leaders over swaths of land called dioceses. And Archbishops oversee entire national churches along with a large Synod.
Eucharist is open for all baptized Christians (regardless of whichever church they are affiliated with) to receive.

Steve: "I'm so confused."
Jenny: "Why?"
Steve: "You're over here praying the rosary and fasting on Wednesdays, but you also took your girlfriend to church and got your marriage blessed. I didn't know the Catholic Church blessed gay marriages!"
Jenny: "Well good thing I'm not Catholic, Steve. I'm Episcopalian."

Get the Episcopalian mug.Spelled "Episcapol" by jealous boys and girls who attend other private schools in northern Virginia/D.C., but spelled "Episcopal" by everyone else with even the slightest intelligence. Founded in 1839 in Alexandria, Virginia, this boarding school affectionately nicknamed "The High School" is the place to send your kids if you are southern, preppy, athletic, and intelligent. It was the first high school founded in the state of Virginia. The school's biggest academic and athletic rival is Woodberry Forest School in Orange, VA but for the past 15 years or so, Episcopal has been raising its standards of excellence thanks to the admission of females. Episcopal graduates usually attend colleges such as UVA, UNC, UGA, Vanderbilt, Davidson, W&L, Princeton, Harvard, Brown, Yale, Sewanee, Wake Forest, and Tulane. EHS has a tradition of excellence both in and outside of the classroom and tends to attract good-looking, athletic, and bright students. Students at Episcopal spend their free time playing lacrosse, roaming around in lilly, rainbows, and croakies, listening to 94.7 (THE ARROW), hanging out around Dal, or eating Maggie Moos at "The Center".
Episcopal girl: "Did you see that freshman in chapel wearing my new Lilly print?"
Episcopal boy: "THE GAME against Woodberry is this Saturday so all y'all need to pack the bowl!"

Get the Episcapol High School mug.Wealthy phuckers who view church as one more notch on their resume belt as in, I serve on the vestry at my very wealthy Episcopal church. Everyone is welcome at our super liberal church , just don't be poor and uneducated as we like to impress people with our wealth, job, and status. Jesus is a welcoming kinda fellow, sermons are bland and inoffensive, nobody discusses satan or spiritual warfare. Tends to attract assholes, con artists, and a few do-gooders who remember to run things like food pantries so they can get to heaven. Plenty of old women with short hair who wear expensive, practical clothing. Leave your emotions at the door since nobody cares if you die and just want to discuss how you made a lot of money before you died. Church of heartless rich people. Did I say rich?
