→Racist
This seems irrelevant as most men at his time were racist and he was no different than the rest of the western world at this point - Christians at this point participated in wide prosecution of blacks and colored people, and really the majority of people in the western world were racist at this point in time.

:::Seems irrelevant? You certainly don't appear very sure about this matter and obviously feel you have a poor case. I do know at the day of pentecost God assembled men from all nations and many were saved. Please see: [[Western atheism and race]] [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 02:38, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

::::Using the word 'seems' does not indicate that they believe they have a poor case. They may simply prefer not to use the 'this is right' style of writing, out of personal preference. I also know that the day of pentecost was not during Darwin's lifetime, and that is the context. They said "Christians at this point", not "Christians 1800 years ago." Also, United States Constitution, Article I, Section 2, Clause 3: "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." - 'three fifths of all other Persons' refers to blacks and colored people, those who held no other place in society in 1789 (and until 1863) than as slaves. This section of the Constitution is racist, and was written by people who (at least according to Conservapedia, I'm not sure about in general) were Christian. The point is, that the majority of people in the western world at this time (including Christians) were racist. Emphasis: at this time. - [[User:JamesCA|JamesCA]] 07:30, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
