A conversation that must happen for the sake of our kids.
::And while I have you... the hyphen between the number and century (e.g. 4th-century) is wrong. It shouldn't be there. It has been bugging me for a while and this morning I finally looked into it. So every time I come across it in my travels I will revert it. I hope you will too.

==American slavery and Christianity==
The history of American slavery is sorely lacking in this page, and I feel like it should be explored, both for the sake of K-12 students needing a trustworthy source of information, and to explain how slavery in America was justified through a mix of racism and the perversion of Christianity. The source of racism is somewhat obvious- African blacks were less technologically advanced (assumed to be dumber) and more war-like (because of limited resources), leading Southern whites to believe blacks were inferior humans and that slavery was a better arrangement for them. I believe the perversion of Christianity aspect needs some serious discussion. Slave-owners twisted our religion by simultaneously willfully misinterpreting passages from the Old Testament and completely ignoring the New Covenant whenever it was convenient for them. Most other sources on the topic of slavery are liberal and summarize to "white people hated black people because the Bible told them to". This site needs to set the record straight.--[[User:Pious|Pious]] ([[User talk:Pious|talk]]) 02:37, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
