| mrstickball said: Also, The_Vagabond, about your argument about Obama being considered sub-human in the 1800s: Do you think that would have been because of people's prejudice, or the actual religion? People tend to use anything they can find to justify bad behavior. I don't remember the Bible ever stating that you had to marry a person of the same color, or they were going to be sub-human. For in the same breath you could deride religion as causing some form of bigotry, you could easily as point to the most prominent abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison, John Whittier, or Harriet Beecher Stowe as all being convicted Christians. |
My point with that wasn't about religion, but about unreasonable views relenting to reason given time. I don't think racism in the 1800s concerning blacks was a direct result of christianity, or other religious beliefs.
