Christianity was used to justify slavery. Don’t trust the rich man who claims to be a man of god.

It was used as much to justify it as it was to demonize it. Bartolomé de las Casas, John Brown, the Quakers, American Anti slavery society was founded by clergymen

This is literally in reference to the POTUS. Also Christianity has done all of those things too. Also I’ve been a Christian my entire life until recently so I think I earned the right lol

I say just don’t trust any politician/ world leader at all. None of them have the interest of the people

Okay that’s fine. I’m just accentuating the fact that just bc someone is “Christian” doesn’t mean they’re good bc some people don’t get that.

I’m just saying don’t trust the rich man who claims to be a Christian. The rich people owned slaves, not the poor. I’m just bringing up that Christianity is a disguise for corrupt people.

Hard to say religious scholars still actively debate slavery in the Bible mistranslations through the centuries have a hand in that. Most permitted slavery comes from the Old Testament which is hard to take at face value due to Hebrew not having a word for slave.
