Then why not take you out, whip, and hang you for the transgression of your slave trading ancestors? Or anything your ancestors did for that matter?

Whats the difference? That was just WRONG to say!


Holy shit, ronedee has posted something with which I actually agree.

In other news, pigs now fly.

So I guess you wouldn't be alarmed if people started targeting white people for all the shit they have done....

Wasn't aware his silly wars had anything to do with Nigeria or Darfur.

True, but even Pakistan and Afghanistan aren't in the Middle East. It's more of a cultural use than a geographic use in everyday language.

I have recently pointed to these matters to the Christians in my community and those on social media so they stop crying persecution when they're told to take their nativity scenes and crosses down for being unconstitutionally placed on public property. Works wonders.

It's truly a shame people are being persecuted and dying over religion, there's no need since it's all about as true as Harry Potter.

They would just kill for another reason...maybe the actual reason.

I have no doubt there would still be murder and that some murders done now in the name of religion have ulterior motives behind them.

That being said, without religion there would have been and would be significantly less violence in the world.
