I am not quite sure I understand your comment or what you were trying to say to me. I do not think I have ever cherry picked a Bible verse to support slavery. The people who “did” have died and are long gone, the people who “do” still own slaves and live in the Middle East.

Conversely, the practice of slavery as detailed in the Bible is diametrically opposed to the practice of slavery as done in the South. Those ministers wrested scripture for their own political purposes, and ultimately suffered the consequences of their actions.

Only that I find deliberate falsification equally despicable whether it is in the secular or divine sphere.

Each has its methods of adhering to the True Path, of correcting error.

Each, sadly, has examples of fraud.

It is a mistake to tar all faith or all science with misrepresentations of a few zealots.
