After all, he appears frequently on Fox Fixed and Fake "news" where their daily abominations of "baring false witness" begin with their serial lies of "fair and balanced". No person is perfectly fair and balanced, much less an entire news organization headed by Richard Nixon's former press secretary, Roger Ailes. Besides, real news should never be a balancing act. For every lie "Christians" claim are in the alleged "liberal Media" it's easy to cite three times more from Fox "news", quoted in their own lying words.Chris Aablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933519781770237941.post-6832341220031720622008-01-14T10:35:00.000-07:002008-01-14T10:35:00.000-07:00"Christians ended slavery" is a sophistic statemen..."Christians ended slavery" is a sophistic statement. Yes, it is true that Christians played a significant role in the abolition movement. But "Christians" aren't a monolithic group. Quaker abolitionists aren't the same thing as Southern Baptists who considered slavery a Biblically sanctioned institution.<BR/><BR/>The writings of Frederick Douglas give proof to the lie that is D'Souza.Hume's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551684109760430351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933519781770237941.post-41819422906395260372008-01-14T00:43:00.000-07:002008-01-14T00:43:00.000-07:00I also like to add that slavery needed a catalyst ...I also like to add that slavery needed a catalyst to be abolished due to the strong competitive advantage it granted to its perpetuators. That catalyst was the Industrial revolution. <BR/>This is a prime example of what I mean when I say that it is irrelevant what we think about a moral practice if in the end it grants a competitive advantage to the society that considers it acceptable (and thus brings that society to the top of the pile, so to speak). Not irrelevant because morality is subjective and any value is as good at the other, but irrelevant because no matter what our belief are, we cannot compete.Divided By Zer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/02161522651023903941noreply@blogger.com
