I wholly disagree with your statement: "Christianity was quite late in the game when it came to finally eliminating [slavery] as an institution."Are you aware that, based on Biblical passages, some Freepers are not opposed to slavery?
This was written by a Freeper within the past two years:
My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves.The comment was removed by a moderator, but survives in subsequent posts. (I can FRmail the URL to you if you want, but I see no point in posting further details on this thread.)
The point of my post is that Gunrunner's comment "Read the writings of Jefferson Davis or other Confederates. They specifically cite the Bible as a reference condoning slavery" is not limited to a century and a half ago. Some Biblical literalists apparently still find nothing wrong with slavery.
Some freepers are completely for Social Security as practiced by the current federal government.. The current SSA is PURE SOCIALISM as pure as anything Soviet Russia or Communist China ever enacted..
Socialism is Slavery by Government.. Some freepers don't even KNOW they are socialists.. Slavery is and has been a creative economic force.. 2500 years ago or today..
Whos SLAVE ARE YOU?...
