Episcophobia,
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.
