Do you believe most people would think it's OK to kill a healthy baby five minutes before it's born? You think that belief is just confined to Catholics?

It's well known that Trump has paid for abortions for several women. But you support Trump.

Funny I don't see any verses about being required to pay foreign slaves or to ever release them since the bible says that you can will them to your sons.

The definition of slavery in biblical times is completely different from the colonial slavery we think of today.

Nope, and there is no law in the US that allows this to happen.

Would be great for the economy but it’s not “morally” right per religion so we followed that lead.

What eventually happened is religion stated to become a hinderance to those in power right from the establishment of our nation. Hard to argue for slavery, war, capitalism, and treatment of native Americans and stay in line with Jesus. So you have to decide if you want theology to run the country or money. We chose money and justified all the things that go against Christianity by twisting words in the Bible.

Look at religion today, we have remade it to fit our interpretation of what we want Christianity to be. Mega churches, Jesus wants you to be rich, $5 dollar holy water to fix your problems. Where the hell is this stuff in the Bible, Jesus was washing feet and and feeding the poor not building a third house on the Red Sea.
Agree with you wholeheartedly. What started off as a noble Christian ideal has been corrupted by the greedy leftwing atheists.

According to the bible you can buy slaves from foreigners and keep them forever, even will them to your sons. How is that different from buying people from other countries and keeping them forever and willing them to your sons.
