What does thinking someone is possessed have to do with anything?
Because contrary to the assertion of the poster I was replying to, its a Biblical passage that explicitly endorses racism. Jesus initially rejects the Canaanite woman's request for healing on the basis that he is called only to help the "sons of Israel", then compares her to a dog and the Jews to children when he says "it is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs".
I'm just tired of hearing Christians claim that their Biblical text doesn't endorse racism. It clearly does, and this is just one example.
You are aware Jesus was a Jew, correct?
Also, for a decent chunk of Christianity's history, Christians just thought of themselves as a sect of Judaism.
