Wow. Never realized American slavery was a favor to blacks.

It is always better to know the facts of history rather than believing propaganda.

I love my country asuch as the next man. It’s certainly a blessing to be born in a country that allows us the freedoms late out in the constitution but I think we’d be wrong to not view our country as we view ourselves. Born broken and lost and in need of redemption

A country is land and borders. It doesn't sin. It doesn't require redemption.
People are what make a name for a country. American's first amendment guarantees Christians don't make it a Theocracy.
Though Lord knows we tried when we could.

And then there's the truth.

John Stafford Smith Composer of The Star Spangled Banner



Promoting falsehoods about its anthem and president proves you don't love your country.

If that falsehood makes you feel right, you're really pathetic.
Slaves were free from being executed in their homeland as POW's.
The slave excuse always pops when people have no better argument. Read the Bible. Slavery was approved by God. And Jews were allowed to own slaves as long as they weren't members of their same tribe.


Very good.
And veterans are none too fond of the anthem being disrespected. Some think its OK as a sign of freedom. Others not so much. Anyone who's all for freedom shouldn't carp about people being free to object to peoples disrespect of our country, our flag, and or our anthem.

yeah that's one of the reasons I'm not Christian because the Bible condones slavery which is immoral

The Bible does not condone anything bad. 'There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Jesus Christ'. Ro 8:1.

They're not in Christ Jesus. As they admitted.
But they post on a forum dedicated to Christ Jesus. I take their picture as a visual representation of their motive for being here.

Anyone who doesn't know Jesus was in the OT and that slavery is in the Bible doesn't read their Bible.

my home is on a new earth that He has not yet made :)
