I love it! A black guy saying G-d was a racist.
The irony of that is just overwhelming....
Well, there is chapter an verse in the "good book" about how to treat your slaves (can't beat them beyond that they wouldn't come to by the third day), and how slaves should behave towards their masters. Meanwhile, back in prehistory, slaves came in more than just the one geographical region or shade.
Did you hear there will be a re-write of that good book by (I really don't want to call them conservatives, it just isn't fair. They need to come up with a distinctive tag. I'm thinking Regressives) a group that thinks a lot of the Bible just isn't, um, Kosher (for lack of a better word) and wants to omit the more liberal passages as so many varied ****-ups by the scribes. There go the gospels of Christ.
Absolutely true re slaves.
Wouldn't be the first time the "good book" has been re-written, as I'm sure Constantine would have attested to. Regressives is good. Reactionaries works as well, IMO. Interesting about removing the more "liberal" bits. Can't imagine what Jesus will say instead of "turn the other cheek". (Show them your sword??) *sigh*
And they say the bible should be literally interpreted? Something is very wrong with this picture.
