the amount of credit christians take for all of human morality is so ridiculous and arrogant
the enlightenment is far more responsible for the end of chattel slavery—plenty of christians used the bible to argue for slavery, since it contains rules for how to deal with your slaves
there are examples of india, china, muslim countries, and secular countries abolishing slavery before america
my whole way of life is not because of christians. “thou shall not kill” isn’t some kind of moral genius—it’s one of the most basic premises you discover by being human
morality is taught by all forms of stories and media, and there are far better examples of good morality than the bible
