The only people accepting slavery on this thread are creationists. All you are doing is shucking and jiving.

The Bible needs no interpretation from me on racism slavery or creation etc and especially not to clarify or provide an exigesis for you.

Little more there than, "I refuse to say what I think. It might be inconvenient to my attempts to portray myself as reasonable."

Your post would seem to indicate that justifying slavery is bad. I get that sense from your Gould quote:

The leading evolutionist, Stephen Jay Gould who is an atheist and marxist as well, wrote in his "Ontogeny and Phylogeny", Belknap-Harvard Press, Cambridge, MA, USA, pp. 127–128, 1977:
‘Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’
At least, I can't imagine the point of including this if justifying slavery is good behavior. I'm sure Gould intended to note it as an undesirable social consequence of evolution, giving slavers something to spin in their favor.

So taxesareforever is misbehaving, right?

In Gal 3:28 St Paul writes:

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

The above is the Christian message on slavery as opposed to this:

The evolutionist Sir Arthur Keith, wrote:

‘The German Führer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution.’

How can that be? I thought this site was for freedom of thought and discussion. Do some believe that it is only a one way street?
