The assumption that the people of that age were uneducated and superstitious to any degree higher or lower than people today does not seem to me to be warranted.

Thanks, Tass, I really need a laugh this morning. And I'm actually pretty nice to most non-theists. It's just you and your smarter brother, JimL, for whom I feel no love.The Southern Baptist Convention as a body had no policy or teaching or doctrine that justified slavery. If it did, you should produce it.
That's called an opinion, Tass - try producing some facts. Like an actual statement or doctrine or teaching of the SBC. Remember, your original claim was that the SBC excused slavery with their interpretation of scripture. You have yet to demonstrate that.

I love you just enough to get to heaven.
And yet the Southern Baptist Convention did justify slavery. Interestingly, you snipped the link I provided. Either, its promotion of slavery was scripturally based OR the SBC acted in defiance of scripture. Which was it, Pastor?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I think you would have a hard time making the case that there is more or less superstition in any particular age.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
