Need I remind you that it was the fiery activity of Christians that ended slavery in this country?

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder towards Christians, but let me tell you, it is exactly your attitude that feeds the myth that somehow Democrats and liberals ended discrimination against blacks in this country. They didn't.

It was the core Christian ethic and conscience of the American people that ended it.

The only place racism still finds a home is in the hearts of those who reject Christ and what He and His apostles taught.

WK: With such a stupid and intolerant statement on file, it is pointless to continue.

I have been involved with many of these types of arguments. You CANNOT win with someone who has set him/herself up as better than anyone/everyone else by dint of their religion. They just point to the Bible self-referentially and say that only they are "saved." Everyone else is evil. Sounds just like Islam to me -- argumentationally.

I usually go a few rounds and watch their BP go up while they try and try to explain why they are still better than everyone else. Their "trump card" is to call you anti-Christian.

Just watch the thread arc to come. It actually is pretty funny once you've been through it a few time (the REAL hoot is when they FReepmail you and want to pray for you).
