I already mentioned the split that happened over slavery in my previous post.

    What does any of this have to do with anything? You're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

    Well then that shoots your whole stupid arguement down then, doesn't it? Christians everywhere did great things and terrible things. In America and elsewhere. Need you be reminded of the New Zealand wars that pitted the Crown against the Maori? And slavery (and cannibalism) existed in your own nation by the Maori until Christians abolished it.

    America's immigrants are averagely ignorant? Too stupid to realize what a terrible place this is that they can't stop themselves from coming over here? Starlight, you are xenophobe and hypocrite.

        If I had to give Jesus a label, I suppose it would be social progressive and moral conservative.

        Having said that, he was a lot less progressive and a lot more conservative than a lot of people seem to think.

        But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
        Than a fool in the eyes of God

          Without a clear-cut definition of sin, morality becomes a mere argument over the best way to train animals
