As we continue this series, I talk to BAR ‪@BlackAtheistRants‬

For this discussion, I asked creators to view a short video I made for them to understand where I was coming from and my questions about the topic. To skip the intro, go to 7:55 where the interview starts.

When each of the other full interviews release, those videos will be listed here:

The video that I made in response to the ahistorical nonsensical (and racist, in my view) claims of Mike ‪@InspiringPhilosophy‬ and Than ‪@ExploringReality‬ responding to ‪@maklelan‬ be found here:

   • More Slavery Apologetics. Mike & Than Slan...  

Essentially Mike and Than argue that Black Americans should be thankful to Christians for "ending slavery" and that "Christianity" was the primary and driving force behind abolition.

Of course in order to sell this racist bigoted garbage, they have to lie, gaslight, and pretend to be intellectuals.

Don't buy it.

We can see they're lying by simply going to primary documents and reading about history, something the know the vast majority of their sheeple audience simply will not bother with doing.

In my research I discovered even I was saying things that were wrong because I've been so conditioned by American schooling and Christian teaching, for example Wilberforce, when he argued for "abolition" the thing he was arguing for was the end of the transatlantic slave trade.

Abolition to Wilberforce was ending the slave trade, the word was used to argue for the end of the slave trade, not the ending of slavery, something he did want, but didn't fight for directly, as he knew Christians would not end slavery without going incrementally.

The other realization during my studies, and I've barely scratched the surface, is that it was Quakers who were the first to argue for abolition (and they influenced people like Wilberforce).

So saying "Christianity" ended slavery is like saying Christianity did X --- X being anything like teaching that the wine really turns to the blood of Jesus or that proper worship happens on Saturday morning or any issue that Christians are divided on.

See?

You don't say "Christians teach that speaking in tongues is an important part of worship and a sign of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit," you say that "Pentecostals" teach this thing, so likewise, if you're going to be accurate, you cannot say, "Christians ended slavery."

Or that "Christianity" was the primary force for abolition.

You must say something like "Quakers were instrumental in the abolition movement."

And if you want to be really accurate, just add, "and they were fighting a Christian majority, most other denominations in fact, who believed and taught slavery was God's design and not a sin."

Christians today who rightfully hate slavery are in opposition to most Christians in most of history as well as the clear teachings in their own Bible.
