Well I can give you afew examples of the Christian missionary Stanley in Africa, breaking up the Islamic slave trade in the 19thC, but if its adebate you want I'll go do some research, I can tell you one thing but if you think Christianity was the only participant in Black slavery you had better go investigate the Arabs.
And do you think Christianity has much to do with the running of the modern day rackets in slavery, millions of women all over the world in Eastern Europe, Africa, asia and even the US are today, slaves.
Is that Christianitys fault, or a Godless societys fault, that is only interested in one thing and that is money. | William Wilberforce, the most famous of the 19th century opponents to slavery and the reason it ended in the British Empire (it was after his death though), argued his position from a Christian platform.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
