"Is this the way a fundamentalist would handle the slavery question? No. By no means"
Hey lets not get into fundamentalsim would support slavery arguements...modern fundamentalist Christians would not, citing many of the same arguements you just did!
Point well taken. The word "fundamentalist," has --- like one of Mrs. Don-o's sweaters --- been stretched too far to cover too much. Sorry about that!
Instead of "fundamentalist," I probably should have said "simplistic and literalist." I apologize to the anti-slavery fundamentalists and will try not to repeat this error.
