I noted it was a quote, and my question was about your opinion.

And Adams was not referring to Colonial America when he uttered that quote.

The Bible contains rules regarding the treatment of slaves.

Sure does, as does our Constitution. Of course the Constitution also forbids slavery.

The Bible also contains rules about divorce. Does the Bible condone divorce?

The song is irrelevant.

LOL.

I know Adams was not referring to Colonial America -- the quote is perfectly clear.

I see no rules governing the treatment of slaves in the Constitution, but even if there were, they would be as irrelevant as the song. The song is not from the Bible, and neither is the Constitution. The song quotes the Bible, but that has nothing whatever to do with my question, which was, "Do you agree with the quote? Would a slave-owning nation be a "Paradise"?

I will take your refusal to answer a perfectly simple question as the answer to the question.
