... clear on this because critics of Christianity point out that "the Bible doesn't condemn slavery," and now neo-Confederate Christian apologists agree with them wholeheartedly. "That's what we've been saying all along!" Race-based chattel slavery is, in no way, "Christian."

Wilson is repeating arguments first proposed by Confederate theologians leading up to the Civil War, who maintained the slaveholder, not the abolitionist, was reading the Bible correctly. MAGA Christianity has a neo-Confederate wing. A sort of "Lost Cause" Christianity.

The good news is he heard the pushback from Christians. The bad news is he's revising history to avoid owning his position. "I am an American chauvinist. I only care about America." - Matt Walsh
I said that the leaders of the United States should only be concerned with the interests of the United States, and a bunch of “conservatives” and “Christians” have spent the last two days having a hissy fit over this incredibly basic articulation of the most obvious and

In various parts of the world, Christians suffer discrimination and persecution. I think especially of Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mozambique, Sudan, and other countries from which we frequently hear of attacks on communities and places of worship. God is a merciful Father who desires
