The "W" in Christmas

Ol'forest said

Those old testament verses can be interpreted to promote slavery if you want (or you're a muslim) but the truth is Christianity ended slavery throughout the world. And alot of HOLYdays are timed with old pagan holidays, doesn't make them pagan. Nobody wants to loose holidays, even pagans converting to Christianity.

No, the passages are actually extremely blunt about slavery. Its a pretty unarguable fact. And it certainly wasnt christianity that ended slavery in america. It was people(some of whom called themselves christian) making a decision that something in their bible("gods" word if you will) was wrong and immoral.

I guess i'd take this stuff more seriously if people actually followed their belief to a T. The whole "pick and choose" mentality is really just humorous to me. But no one does and then the people who come the closest are usually the craziest(see phelps family/other religious extremists).
