Christianity is a tool of oppression, used to justify slavery.

    Having not watched the linked video, and I swear I’m not saying that evolution is not true because I believe it is a very solid, theory for the development of life over time, but wasn’t evolution also used to justify slavery?

    Again, I haven’t watched the video so I don’t know what parts of Christianity exactly are inspiring this question, but I don’t believe the heart of Christianity encourages slavery

      In some places and times, but I don’t think anywhere near the level religion/Christianity has.

      For me, it’s the simple question of why would an oppressed peoples worship the god that arguably says they should be oppressed (the bible does support slavery).
