What the conservative is incapable of understanding is that not everyone thinks like it. While it believes the unborn is a soul from conception, that doesn't actually make it so. Yet the conservative still believes its own beliefs should be imposed on everyone.
It is no coincidence that yours is the same side that once denied the full humanity of black people, and on the basis, supported slavery and other abuses toward them.
you are aware that Christianity once denied the full humanity of black people, and on the basis, supported slavery and other abuses toward them...right?
Acts 8:26-39
But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; 28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this,
He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb,
So he openeth not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away:
His generation who shall declare?
For his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? 35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
So let's review....
Judaism which basically taught that there were only the chosen, and everyone else was excluded, was the historical belief of all the people in Acts.
However, Christianity, as this passage taught, said that all people, and in this case an Ethiopia, was specifically called to be part of Christianity. G-d himself sent Philip to meet this Ethiopian, and bring him to faith, and baptize him in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord.
So you can claim that Christianity was against people of color or whatever, but the fact is the founding book of Christianity teaches differently than you claim.
Acts 10:34
And Peter opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
End of the story. Thank you sir, for stopping by.
