Biblical slavery
Also you have shown no "minor group" that commits violence based on the historical reports of the Bible.
​
Didn't southern-state Christians, prior to the Civil War, use 'historical reports of the bible' to justify slavery? And, isn't slavery inherently violent?

Re: Biblical slavery
You may be right about that, I'm not sure, but the Bible context for slavery is either through military conquest or economic necessity, not stealing people to turn into slaves as was done here, and the Mosaic law prescribed humane standards.
​
I don't care about 'laws' prescribing humane standards, I thought we all agreed slavery is violent.
​
And the whole reason for slavery in the South was economic necessity. We studied that in school, remember?

Re: Biblical slavery
And again this is really a different subject.
​
Why? Check the title of this thread. Slavery as described biblically certainly reads as violent in many cases. And Southerners used these passages to justify their cruelty.

Re: Biblical slavery
So, in your eyes, slavery isn't actually violent. Good to know. I guess when Jesus talked about beating disobedient slaves that wasn't violent?
​
Luke 12:47 That servant who knows his master's will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
​
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
