"Our wise men are called Fathers, and they truly sustain that character. Do
you call yourselves Christians? Does the religion of Him who you call your
Savior inspire your spirit, and guide your practices? Surely not.

It is recorded of him that a bruised reed he never broke. Cease then to call
yourselves Christians, lest you declare to the world your hypocrisy. Cease too
to call other nations savage, when you are tenfold more the children of cruelty
than they.

No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and
worthwhile action, but the consciousness of having served his nation.

I bow to no man for I am considered a prince among my own people. But I will
gladly shake your hand."

Joseph Brant to King George III

Thanks for letting me know, Solon. I just haven't been able to keep up.

FWIW, I think there certainly is racial favoritism in the Bible, and for good reason. The OT is the Jewish Bible, serves to both document history and provide a framework for their coalescing and moving through time.

I understand your point.
