#1- Name a place where slavery is still allowed today.
#2- Black people weren't the only race that was ever enslaved.
#3- My point wasn't that something happened or it didn't, it was that because someone did it doesn't mean his/her RELIGION condoned it or preached it was right.


also you are christian, you already have sin in you from the original... so if you have to carry such a burden why wouldn't you carry the burden of all mankind or christians who came before you? you live with what they haev done everyday, why would this be different?
Because "sin" is something that can only be carried or forgiven by the individual. I can't pay for your sins any more than I can of my own children.
Therefore, what does the sin of other people from generations ago have to do with my choices now? They either live or die by their choices as will I.



yes i buy things from china and if they come from labor camps, guess what... one i wouldnt' know b/c i'm not from china, two nothing i can do will change the fact i'm going to buy products from there regardless.

So therefore according to your's and the author's logic, you are condoning and even supporting child labor camps then. He says "Christianity" advocates slavery because some people that were "Christians" had or used slaves. How is you buying a pair of tennis shoes made by the hands of some 9 yr old in some 3rd world country going to be any reflection on YOU? THAT is exactly my point. How is the action of one have to do with the ideology of another?

Like I said, it's far fetched and loosely connected at best. Either way, it's a weak argument since I'm willing to bet there's not a single Slave owner today that is a true Christian. Hell, anything can be loosely connected if we dig far enough and make enough assumptions.
