Then why did the church require infant baptism for a thousand years
Infants have committted no sin, but have Original Sin from the Fall.
Why did they believe in torturing and killing witches before folks learned there ain't no such thing as a witch
For the same reason that everyone else believed in torture and witches.
But it was Christianity that led the effort to ban torture and stop burning witches as some still do to this day.
Oh, and dont tell a Wiccan he's no witch, lol.
Why did they tolerate and accomodate slavery for thousands of years all the way up to modern times
Because the whole world did, and it was the church, again, that led the effort to destroy slavery and largely has.
Your like the local gossip who still damns the reformed local drunk because a long time ago he used to get smashed, even though he hasnt touched alcohol in decades.
The church has never changed their stand on anything until donations began to fail.
That is a total bullshit lie.
God, how do yo live with yourself?
