It's not "used to", it's still going on. Many of those in the elite of Wall Street extreme right
wing in the US are extreme in Christianity.
The unethical lending practices, mortgage and credit card excess of recent years are all intended to
keep the working class in perpetual supportable debt, or essentially, legalized slavery. Such
people make enough to pay the interest on the debt, but not the principal, and will never be able to
get out of debt.
That's the goal and the intent of the extreme right, permanent debt and indenture, just like in the
buybull. It's no different than when Christians rationalized "social darwinism" in the early 20th
century to leave the poor starving to death, claiming "the rich are obviously more fit to live". Of
course, such attitudes and banking practices in the early 20th century also happened before the
Great Depression and played a large part in causing it.
You don't suppose that it's happening again, do you? Nahhhh..... |

AMEN! The Bible has been referenced many ties to support INTOLERANCE, INEQUALITY, and PUNISHMENT
for noncompliance. |

OK, guys i just asked a question and it seems half of you are getting mad at me for it... It was
simple and i wanted to see some mature answers -which i did- but also got a couple emotional ones...
I am not racist i just want to point that out... Also reading online on those parts i would have to
agree that it does support slavery.. |

They still do. There is no "used to" about it. Every redneck, racist piece of excrement in the world
interprets the Bible to support their bigoted beliefs. The Bible can be interpreted to support
almost anything if manipulated with a small degree of creativity.
I am so sick of the Bible touting extreme right. I can't say this loud enough or clearly enough: -
IT IS A BOOK! IT IS JUST A BOOK! IT WAS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO! THE VALUES THEN
ARE DIFFERENT NOW! TECHNOLOGY THEN IS DIFFERENT NOW! PEOPLE THEN ARE DIFFERENT NOW! IT HAS NO
RELEVANCE TODAY EXCEPT AS AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL RELIC! |

If you look for the section of the bible that contains the text of the ten commandments, you will
find that it implicitly endorses slavery. Among the commandments are things like "Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's slave." |

What do you mean used to? They still do. You have to remember that the KKK is a Christian,
Bible-based group that firmly believes that blacks are inferior to whites because their
interpretation of the Bible tells them so. |
