Quote:It's not "some" Christians but religious orders and clergy who had slaves.
Uh huh; which made up in Europe about 15% of the population and globally in the single digit %s; which was even during this "Catholic" period divided between different sects and orders with *vastly* different opinions on issues both secular and theological.
Quote:And that is the only "freedom" that Christianity offered to slaves: when they died they will be free in heaven living with god, but till then they had to obey their owners and turn the other cheek when getting beaten.
So anything bad is automatically, unequivocally linked to Christianity; even if a single % point was involved in it and it ran contradictory to thousands of years of Christian doctrine.
Conversely, anything good cannot be linked to Christianity; even if the majority of Christians agreed with it, it had been confirmed by authorities for thousands of years, and is consistent with Christian theological belief, it cannot be attributed to Christianity.
That's irrational.
