You'll find an example in the NT where an Ethiopian man get saved and baptised too Linear. No class distinction there, no thought of the african being less of a man than Paul in God's eyes.

Also, Moses had a black wife.

I have no idea why all of that was overlooked by Christians who believed the same as Darwin, that blacks were inferior to whites or less human except that their own desires persuaded them regardless of what is written in the bible.

you'd be surprised to know how many people call themselves christians and have never read the bible. or the number of non-christian people who have something to say about the bible and have never read it either.

Today, a lot of people get a good deal of their information from the media, even from entertainment, where racism continues to be rampant as well and influences people quite a bit, true or not. At least you can say we are well entertained, more so than any culture in recent history, for better or worse.

My point was:
Using a particular writing or Theory to justify socially unacceptable behavior does not make that writing or Theory untrue. Many people don't like what the Bible says, but their feelings don't make the Bible untrue.


A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
