They were Christians.
You keep focusing on whether there is scientific fact to support the Creation Theory, and i've already said that it really doesn't matter ~ you can take that up with all the scientists who DO believe in it.
Our economy was not built on slavery ~ it was built on capitalism. Because of how capitalism works, slavery seemed like a great idea at the time.
But now, here's a little problem i have ~ you don't care if the entire country participates in and condones infanticide, but you're absolutely horrified over slavery. Hmmm. Well, if you're so horrified over slavery, i guess you plan to quit buying anything that you can't make SURE was NOT produced in some sweatshop, right? Unfortunately, capitalism loves cheap labor, so ~ good luck with that!
Actually, we DO stop folks from cutting off their own hands ~ we have them institutionalized if they are considered dangerous to themselves or others. What i just can't seem to come to grips with is how supposedly CIVILIZED people could think, for one second, that murdering children, for the convenience of the mother, is 'right.' What about the rights of that child? Sad, sad doings...
