Some Christians were against slavery, some for it. Some Christians faught to abolish slavery, aome fought for it. Reverend Berkeley, the guy the liberal town is named after, was a Christian apologist for slavery.

It’s funny you chose to compare with Moslems and not Jews. Jews have been responsible for much less death and destruction than Christians. By your logic, their religion would be the true one, and they deny Christ was the messiah.

I refer you back to your original quote (msg 448) that kicked off what became primarily a discussion with js:“Then we are screwed and the Muslims are just as likely to be right as the Jews and Christians.”

You lumped Jews and Christians together, an association not surprising to me (you know, Judeo-Christian? A common phrase for obvious reasons) Nonetheless, it was your categorization and your terms. Now, you find it “funny”? You explain it.

js chose to focus on Christians, to the exclusion of Jews. I even tried to pull him back to include Jews, but he would have none of it. His obsession is with Christians and their "perfidy." Let him explain it.
