1. this has nothing to do with christianity
2. The slave owners had christ killed. His followers were the poor and the downtrodden... His theology, at the time of his life, would have zero effect on the actions of those who own slaves. You guys don't see religion as history, which is your biggest problem. Christ, as a historical figure, had influence over a very limited number of people. He was preaching to them.

Whatever theology has occurred since then is attributable only to individual theologians, not to the man himself. Religion is a fluid, living thing than reflects cultural changes. One day you'll understand that.

Thats the whole point though, that in 2014, such ideologies provided in the book are too antiquated and have no place in a productive society today.

Ignore thousands of years of collective wisdom of your ancestors at your own peril.

Scientific progress is indeed amazing and those who refuse to learn from everything that our ancestors have achieved are the greatest threat of all.
