[Lucifer] And they (especially the old testament) have even more scriptures entirely consistent with racial hatred and racial superiority.
[Hermit] For example, the support of slavery in both Old and New testament kept it in practice for at least 400 years longer than it could be economically justified... It required secular humanism to bring it to an almost complete end in the Western Hemisphere...
[Hermit] Then again, most religious writings are so meaningless that you can make them appear to support almost anything you like. Which is why the careful analysis of scriptures, whether Muslim, Christian or Judaic, in order to "prove" that they support or oppose a particular position is an exercise in futility. Is it a coincidence that babble and bible are so similar?
