Mohammed Atta? RIght.

He was a Christian who believed the Bible was the final truth regarding in abolition of slavery

“This court acknowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament. That teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. It teaches me, further, to “remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them.” I endeavored to act up to that instruction. I say, I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done as I have always freely admitted I have done in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit; so let it be done!”
— Excerpt from a speech given by John Brown in court after his conviction

Yeah, he was so good of a Christian that he and his cronies hacked up five Kansans in 1856 and then at Harper's Ferry, killed a free black baggage handler named Hayward Shepherd, Mayor Fontaine Beckham, civilians Thomas Boerly and George W. Turner, two local slaves, and U.S. Marines Luke Quinn and Matthew Ruppert.

Yep, Brown's a real Christian hero who Jesus would be really proud of.

He was a cold-blooded murderer, regardless of what he professed. Slavery was the law of the land. Laws are changed thru channels. To murder innocent people is not Christian or biblical.

Yet St. Paul sent the slave Onesimus back to his master Philemon. And in I Timothy 6:1-4 [1699 Geneva] several rules about master/servant relations are given, among them, “Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed.”.
