Black people and christianity

[paulpablo]

I just came across this on the internet: You may purchase slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase their children. You may treat them as your property. (Leviticus 25:45)
I find it... "funny", for the lack of a better word, how black people worship the same god who allowed them to be enslaved. What's worse, he actually ordered they should be enslaved. I'm guessing they'll end up not exactly in the place they were hoping for when they were alive, lol.  

I don't think it's anything new.  Romans colonised and spread Christianity.  Islam is the same, it's fairly popular in Africa.

I do find it really odd that out of the people I know the most Christian Africans are still resentful about colonisation and don't see the link.

One of them found it amazing that my name's Paul and I'm not a Christian, as if once I've been named it's amazing I made an independant decision for myself after that about what to believe in.

Same type of thing with a really strict Muslim I used to know and he'd talk about his Persian ansestors.

I don't know if black people are any more religious than white folks.

Gives statistics relating to if black people are more religious than white folks.

That's interesting but to me has nothing to do with the conversation.
