1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
I thought it was slaughtering people who didn't think like you that you were upset about, I didn't realize it's OK if it's just between Christian sects.
Well, the thing is that some people judge all of Islam based on the actions of its most extreme members, but at the same time they can not see that they have the same kind of extremism on their own side. the Ku Kux Klan, The Order, Anders Behring Breivik, the Westboro Baptist Church - the list of white christian haters and murderers is long, And then there are the thousands of civilians killed by drone strikes in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lybia, Pakistan... that can't be ignored.
Both sides play the game, but some people can't see that. They think their side is blameless and anyway if there are any extremists amongst us there's only a few and it's because they were provoked.
And then of course there's Luke 6:37 and Matthew 7:1, about Christians being careful about judging others, and beams and motes in eyes.
You probably just missed the part where I said "Probably not"
as White influence subsided these places reverted
What places? I don't want to search a whole bunch of African history if you can point me to the parts you mean.
The African slaves Whites owned were already slaves and they and their descendants would have likely remained such
Some perhaps. Of the ones that went to the US and Caribbean most were captured only because the whites created a market for them. They wouldn't have been taken in the first place without that market.
Christianity replaced a lot of this
As far as I know when Christians gained power they largely failed to accept the people who were already there into their churches or businesses. I'm not aware of any original peoples in the upper levels of the churches, or the boards of the Hudson's Bay Company or the Dutch East India Company. Perhaps you know of some?
You can try to educate Brown people about rights but that doesn't mean they'll give a *uck
Hmm. This shoe seems to fit. "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group"
But you're a Christian, right? So you can't be one of those, can you?
Christians have a 1500 year history of slaughter of non-believers. A few examples:
Spanish Inquisition 1478 - 1834
Medieval Inquisition 12th & 13th centuries
Roman Inquisition Late 1500s
Portuguese Inquisition 1536 - 1821
Not to mention the oppression of women.
Just sayin'.
1 Timothy 2:11-12
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
What version are you reading. I don't see that.
1 Timothy 2

Or is that not what you're saying?
The idea that murdering people for their beliefs is less of an issue in some cases is new to me.
Christians herding Jewwish shopkeepers, women, and children.into ghettos and then murdering them?
Not all people who call themselves christian are christian.
Who gets to decide that some christians are not christian?
Anyone who claims Jesus is divine is a christian. A lot of them don't act like it.
Catholics aren't Christians?
Buddy was going back 1400 years but I'm only allowed 50?

Are you saying that White Christians never subjugated anyone? Probably not, so tell me a bit about the people that they freed, please.
