Very good. Far too many Christians love to whine about belief in "absolute truth" - until their belief threatens to cost them something. Then they become just as hypocritical as the heathen.

BS, "we" as a group have done a lot for everyone in the world. I, as an individual, do things now that help in the world. Go back to Africa first. Tell the warring tribes of old that had their own slaves, and that traded slaves, that once they get through paying up on the reparation thing, "we" may look at it. Oh, and by the way, ....my father did not steal a car, nor did his, nor did his, and I doubt his did. I worked for everything God blessed me with. If "you" as an individual feel the need to buy your neighbor a new car, get after it. In fact, I may move next door to you if you do, as I have not had a new car since 1981. If you wish to do some good, get off your lazy butt and go to Sudan and stop slavery there, as it is happening right now, not in some distant past. Who you going to start with? Which generation starts? I hear there were slaves just about from the beginning of recorded history.

Good Afternoon Steve: Your analogy is false.It is illegal to steal a car. It was perfectly legal to own a slave at that time. It was part of the culture. Was it right? Of course not. Did we fix it? Yes. We made it illegal. The problem occurs when people look back 200 years, and try to make others feel guilty about things that were perfectly legal and socially acceptable at the time.
