"I have given good arguments about slavery as an example

I showed you that the Church has always been the greatest enemy of human freedom and that the Christian South were the last group of slave holders who fought tooth and nail for their biblical right to subjugate and oppress the descendants of "Ham".

The only thing an honest person and a rational person needs to say is,

1). Yes, that is true. I have heard about the Civil War and the Christian South fighting to keep their slaves and the North fighting to free them.

2). But not all Christians were pro-slavery. Many of them became abolitionists alongside of many atheists, humanists, and freethinkers.

"The Curse of Ham (also called the curse of Canaan) refers to the curse that Ham's father Noah placed upon Ham's son Canaan, after Ham "saw his father's nakedness" because of drunkenness in Noah's tent. It is related in the Book of Genesis 9:20-27.

Some Biblical scholars see the "curse of Canaan" story as an early Hebrew rationalization for Israel's conquest and enslavement of the Canaanites, who were presumed to descend from Canaan.[1]

The "curse of Ham" had been used by some members of Abrahamic religions to justify racism and the enslavement of people of Black African ancestry, who were believed to be descendants of Ham.[2][3] They were often called Hamites and were believed to have descended through Canaan or his older brothers. Proponents of slavery in the US increasingly invoked the 'curse of Ham' in the US during the 19th century, as a response to the growing abolitionist movement."[4]
