Christianity as a Justification for Slavery

[guno]

A very good read

"Slaveholders believed that slavery would liberate Africans from their savage-like ways, especially if they were infused with Christianity. As religion ran deep through slavery, white Christian slaveholders argued that slavery was a necessary evil because it would control the sinful, less humane, black race."




Guess who the real savages were

Also because the bible was good for brainwashing the slaves:

"Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward."
-- 1 Peter 2:18

Not true. They rationalized it as a necessary evil and sent the uncivilized hordes out via papal bull. Centuries later it was abolished as punishment to the loser traitors called the confederacy. Christianity had dick to do with ending slavery.

Are you sure they didnt sub in "slave" for "servants"? I know they took all kinds of liberties with the translations in the KJV.

I'm sure if the planter was reading aloud to them, he'd include "the lady slaves must not withhold thine ass from the master" too.

Christianity once tried to justify slavery of blacks to whites.

Christianity today tries to justify slavery of whites to blacks.

When did they hand out white slaves? I missed it. BTW white women willing serve Black men so they dont count.

I was stuck moderating a three-day conference with about 50 of them. I do it every year. The chatter amongst the lot of them is dread and disbelief.
