I hope you are able to return to DU to correct the notion conveyed in this message, which was posted to your thread over there: "you know...i doubt most of these folks would be in favor of granting slaves full personhood (chief justice rhenquist, among others, shares this view) or "freeing the slaves" if they had that choice to make. many of them think MLK, for example, was a communist out to destroy the american way of life. as an experiment, perhaps your next thread should be about race. let's see how quickly those who use the slavery analogy for the unborn revert to their true colors. let's see how much "value" the place on certain human lives with skin colors different from their own (i know 99.9% of freepers are white)."
Your original post here said this about us:
"But sometimes you talk in painful ways about “evil” as if to associate us with "demons" and "satan" because we don't agree with your path. That is very hurtful, and it makes us feel like you don't really see us as fellow human beings with different understandings of God."
I hope you can see how hateful and hurtful some of your colleagues over on DU can be.
Suggesting that we would support the return of slavery is about as hateful as a person can be.
Why on earth would those people at that site (DU) think that the same rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness wouldn't also apply to black people?
I think this is an example of Dr. Thomas Sowell's axiom that a "racist" is anyone winning an argument with a liberal.
(For DU monitors who don't know, Dr. Sowell is black. And he's smarter than you.)
