What vexes you so?
Is it when I say that no Christian has it right, and the same forgiveness offered to is when we sin is also there to protect us from our various versions of Christianity?
(In contrast 'most christians' believe there is only one right version of Christianity)
Or is it what I believe about sin forgiveness (more specifically gay sin and forgiveness. Most christians believe that being gay is the unforgivable sin) the freedom christians have from the law, tradition, religion, yet the freedom to also embrace these things as an expression of love. (Most Christians can only hold to one side of the arguement or the other.) is it my ability to reconcile the old and new testaments with out holding to one and ignoring the other?
Or is this whole thing about slavery, and your in ability to see past your specific closed minded view of it?
I would tend to agree if you believed the modern lie that all slavery is bad and a person living in modern soceity should not benfit from it in any way shape or form, then one would be insane to believe otherwise.. However what I do not understand is how one could believe the lie that modern life was not built and currently sustained on slavery. One has to be well past burning their head in the sand to believe that. I have given several different examples and dozens of links that show western civilization thrives not only on sweatshop slavery, but in central and South America good ole fashion plantation slavery as well. (Who do you think provides you with your "organic" out of season fruits and veggies?)
The only difference? Corporations own people in most cases and not indivisuals, but I guess that in your book is enough to reclassify slavery... That and the slaves were not shipped in from Africa.
