You have spoken truth… I must reevaluate my Religion and Life. I have lived a lie
Please don’t. I have a feeling the God who loves all and made us in His image and Likeness, probably has a lot better answer than anything I could possibly post.You have spoken truth… I must reevaluate my Religion and Life. I have lived a lie
Because too many innocent people were enslaved and killed in their own country by the invaders.Imperialism was bad? Why?
So imperialism without killing and enslaving is fine?Because too many innocent people were enslaved and killed in their own country by the invaders.
I don’t think so. But at the same time, I do not think it was in accord with the natural law or moral code for Americans, to participate in the human trafficking of millions of Africans and to put them on the auction block to be bought and sold to the highest bidder, just as you would buy and sell pigs at an auction. And with regard to the colonization of America, it is just as true that native Americans were enslaved and forced to work as slaves under the orders of the white European colonialists.So imperialism without killing and enslaving is fine?
Unfortunately, whether it be intrinsic or extrinsic, the enslavement of the American Indian after the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was a cruel injustice and that is why many Americans are taking a second look at whether or not they should admire him.But I think you are conflating things not intrinsic to a thing as if it were intrinsic to a thing.
So according to you, it is OK to put a young woman on the auction block and to sell her like you would sell a horse?Slavery is not inherently wrong
Most likely, but not absolutely?Chattel slavery is most likely inherently wrong.
You do realize that this happened in Europe, the Middle East, and almost all of the rest of the world, literally hundreds, maybe thousands of times since the beginning of Christian history?Yes, forcibly taking someone else’s land and forcibly imposing your outside culture on another people is wrong.
