Lying huh?
You're saying that simply because you can't show what I said isn't true, so you pull out the simple "you're lying" from out of the rabbit's ass, right?
The slave triangle started in the UK, a Christian country, went to Africa to pick up slaves and then sent them to the Americas, which were also Christian.
All the ships were owned by CHRISTIAN ship owners. They were crewed by Christian crew members. The slaves were bought by Christians in the Americas.
And you say they weren't Christians.

How many of these weren't Christians?
Col. Joshua John Ward of Georgetown, South Carolina: 1,130 for example. Christian/
Slavery in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The first 19 or so Africans to reach the English colonies arrived in
Jamestown, Virginia in 1619, brought by Dutch traders who had seized them from a captured Spanish slave ship."
Dutch (Christian) took them from a Spanish ship (Christian) to Jamestown, Virginia (Christian), and you're telling me this had nothing to do with Christians.
"The Spanish usually baptized slaves in Africa before embarking them. As English law then considered baptized Christians exempt from slavery, colonists treated these Africans as indentured servants, and they joined about 1,000 English indentured servants already in the colony."
A city cannot be "Christian". A country cannot be "Christian". Only individuals can be Christians. When Yeshua takes His bride home, he will not be looking at houses, boats, villages, towns, cities or countries. He will be looking at people.
Fine, the people on the Spanish boat, the people on the Dutch boat, the people on the boats from England to Africa to America back to England were Christian, the people who bought the slaves were Christian.
But it doesn't matter, the person I was talking to is just on this message board to fuck around and nothing more. We all know the slave triangle between the UK, Africa and the US was run and organized by Christians, don't we?
We do not. We know the people who did that lived in countries where the Catholic Church was entwined with the political power structure, but that does not make them Christians. The only thing that makes a person a Christian is salvation and reformation, and what makes them identifiable by the world is living by Christ's commands. Having a government official over you who was appointed by a pope does not.
There are many things done in Christ's name that are antithetical to His teachings. That does not convey Christian status to the actors.
So, someone who says they're a Christian isn't a Christian? Hmm... interesting.
So all Christians need salvation and reformation in order to be considered a Christian. How do you prove you have salvation and reformation in order to be a Christian exactly?
Living by Christ's commands? All of them?
The 50 Commands of Christ
I've got a few websites here. This one has 50.
Do not commit adultery. So anyone who has ever committed adultery isn't a Christian.
Fear God, not man. So anyone who has ever feared man isn't a Christian.
Judge not. So anyone who has ever judged anyone isn't a Christian.
Hear God's voice. No one has ever heard God's voice, crazies think they have.
Feed my sheep. Well, I'm assuming that Christ's sheep are dead right now, unless you know of any 2,016 year old sheep out there.
So, well... interesting, Christianity just went from being the most populous religion to the least populous religion (alongside some other well know religions like the one Homer invented honoring the Fonze with ZERO participants).
Well, thanks for that.
