In reply to the discussion: 7-year-old girl killed after white man pulls alongside black family's car and opens fire [View all]MikeIsInProcess
(23 posts)45. To be fair ...
it has also been at the forefront of various successes. Both the abolitionist and pro-slavery movements had a lot of Christian support.
Its ambiguous, which causes it to be, for the most part, a reflection of the people who believe it. Theyre able to find/emphasize whatever message they like.
When we were slave-owners, we found slavery in Holy Writ. Now that were not, effectively we can no longer find this message (though honest people will acknowledge that the verses remain). Strange how that works.
Its a reflection of ourselves, good and bad.
If there were a god, he should be able to pop over and resolve all this ambiguity. Its certainly a less bloody plan than permitting disputes to be addressed by 750,000 dead (in the case of the Civil War).
But here we are.

Yes, and I'm quite sure the cops were aware that description could not be right.
