Quote:actually no. that is you own racism poking it head up. The bible never identified blacks as a race to enslave. and there is no Prohibition from women voting. not only that but the trifecta of your wrongness is made complete with something i have already pointed out. in that morality only represents 1/3 of the law. Which makes sin less about morality than one would think.
I think the point was that supporters of both slavery and the restriction of voting rights used biblical references to support their respective positions. Things like ‘God said it’s OK to enslave people’ and ‘Women are worth less than men, so we get to vote and they don’t.’
I don’t think it’s coincidental that as the influence of religion on a society grows weaker, equality and civil rights become more and more the norm.
