It appears that some of you are reading impaired. Not unusual given the lack of critical thinking skills that infects the evolutionist and atheist camps.

Allow me to repost.

"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.

That meains that it is a given that Christians would oppose slavery and subjugation as indeed they have done over and over again.

Most of the world's totalitarian political leadership has embraced atheism and evolution...using the arguments therein to enslave and annihilate millions of "unsuitables" and "lesser" evolved humans, even the pre-born.

When did they start freeing slaves? Name the time and place.

But Taxesareforever said that he finds slavery to be morally permissable. Moreover, I can find historical references of Christians using Christianity to justify slavery. In fact, wasn't the Southern Baptist Church the result of a group of Christians disagreeing with the rest of their denomination over the moral nature of slavery?

Seems as though you're selectively ignoring reality to make a dishonest point.

Most of the world's totalitarian political leadership has embraced atheism and evolution...using the arguments therein to enslave and annihilate millions of "unsuitables" and "lesser" evolved humans, even the pre-born.

Can you cite references where someone actually cited the theory of evolution as justification for such things? Not allegations that this is the case, I want a reference to an actual historical figure using the theory of evolution to justify abhorrent acts.

I'm not saying that such examples don't exist at all, but I won't hold my breath waiting for you to support your claims with actual fact.

Also as they have -not- done over and over again.

Many non-Christians have opposed slavery. Many Christians have supported it.

Being Christian does not seem to be a deciding factor in relation to supporting slavery.

On this thread, it is not a given and has not happened even once, unless we count the chiding of the hated evolutionists by the spurious waving about of an SJ Gould quote. When does the dance of equivocation, distraction, and denial end? Is there a creationist with backbone and integrity? Can a person with backbone and integrity BE a creationist, with the evidence picture being what it is?

Is slavery bad? If taxesareforever has no problem with it, is he being morally lax? Is his interpretation of the Bible overly literal? What do you think about this?
