You are NOT an objective source.

Neither are you. Lee's own words on slavery show he wasn't overly opposed to it, and there is no evidence he ever suggested to Davis that it be ended.

I’m not sourcing anything at the moment, thank you. I’m asking someone who actually admires Lee to search his memory bank and see if anything comes up.

Not the words you selected, no.

And which of the prophets in the Bible that is the basis for most American religious thinking, ever was overly opposed to the ancient system of human bondage.

Your obsession with judging others does not make a valid or serious argument. Lee, of course, thought for himself on contemporary issues; that did not make him take a holier than thou attitude towards his neighbors or associates; but neither did it make him blindly accept anyone else's views on matters of conscience.
