Second paragraph is incorrect. The Baptist church taught that a persons dark skin was the mark of Cain and hence that blacks were inferior because God proclaimed it

What you as usual gleefully smear with was merely the utterance of a few folks very long ago justifying segregation in a few baptist congregations

Sure doesn’t mean it’s Gods proclaimation anymore than some Jews saying shvartze or kushi which today is the equivalent of “nigger” signifies Gods proclaimation either

I know you can’t resist south bashing and now apparently baptist bashing but try to be accurate

You are aware that like most Protestant sects that Baptist includes all spectrums from southern and white to northern and blacks and from Uber social conservatives to las liberal as evangelical Lutherans

Except if one reads a little further, Cain's lineage didn't survive the flood.

There was a lot of rationalizing that had to be done in order for a culturally christian people to accept slavery.
