Re: funny
what is super funny is that if you look at the "is America a christian nation" thread you read about the founders (aka the slave holders), and you come to the realization that they are NOT christian, and then there is a gem like this thread who wants to point the blame at the christians...oh the silly logic that is EVC. LOL
What is super funny is that if you look at the actual subject of this thread you read about how the Bible condones slavery, and then you come to the realization that discussing Biblical support for slavery is NOT the same as claiming that the Bible is the source of all slavery, and then there is a gem like Artemis who wants to build up a strawman to mock...oh the silly "logic" that is every post made by Artemis, ever.
Copying what passes for you as sentence structure is painful. Please retake a remedial English course.
Asking you to make well-reasoned posts would be too much.

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

Re: off topic
when grammar nazi attacks its because he has no other substance to attack other than youre badd internetz langwage.
That's funny, because you ignored the remainder of my post and focused only on the offhand comment.
Do you actually have a response for the fact that discussing Biblical support for slavery is not the same as claiming that Christianity is responsible for all slavery?
But again...we get admittedly entertaining graphics instead of substance in a post from Artemis. You don't discuss, you troll for lulz. Why are you here, and not on 4chan?
Edited by AdminPhat, : off topic...do not continue
