“And while I realize that many Christians risked their lives and families to fight slavery and that it would not have been ended without them, I found it hard to align myself with the cultural institutions that had turned a blind eye to such outrageous behavior in direct violation of their most sacred beliefs.”
But you have no problem with aligning yourself with a cultural institution that mass murders and enslaves thousands of people today?
My goodness, what a deep thinker ... Persons saying that they refuse to attend Church because it is full of hypocrites. I have never heard that before...
So, to re-translate: 'I will allow myself to be separated from God, and to be led into hell, because of some other people who might be jerks'.
Fool.
