Let me see if I can help solve the self imposed riddle developed by the atheist crowd regarding slavery.
Atheists and evolutionists may need to state their opposition to slavery forthrightly, repeatedly, and constantly given the fact of lack of moral clarity in the atheist fold.
Christians do not.

[taxesareforever] My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves. [jennyp] I never thought I'd have to do this on FreeRepublic, but here it goes: I, an atheist conservative, forthrightly and without reservation state that slavery is morally wrong.

OK, you creationists, you heard it here: Eleni121 has just said that christians' position on slavery has moral clarity. Is there
anything in this exchange you care to comment about?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Ayn Rand, an atheist, stood against slavery for purely rational reasons (it denies another his freedome). One need not be told whether in each instance whether something is good or bad. Most folks are adults and can work it out for themselves.

Ah, but taxes posted in support of slavery.
Christian or no?

Why would all who accept evolution need to state their opposition to slavery when not all who accept evolution are atheists? Please explain your reasoning here.
Christians do not.
Very well. I will take previous comments on this topic to indiciate that Christians are perfectly accepting of slavery. At least, Christian creationists. Apparently you think that Christians who accept evolution must state their position outright, yet you've provided no justification for this double-standard.
