Once again, you exault Christians who behave well, and ignore Christians behaving poorly.



It MAY HAVE been lead by people who HAPPENED TO BE Christian...
... but they did so NOT based on their religion, but rather on their REASONING which realized that the Bible was vastly lacking in morality on the issue of slavery.
Wrong. I said there were Christians against slavery as well as Christians for slavery. Don't tell me what I said when it is right there in front of you.

It is your opinion that Christians were against slavery not based on their religion but by reasoning that the bible was lackign in morality on the issue of slavery. I can point to verses in the New Testament against slavery if you wish. No problem.
