My thoughts? Well, let's see.
Slavery has been and always will be a cruel and abhorrent institution.
While slavery was present throughout the world and the lands of the North American continent for hundreds and thousands of years, let's look at slavery's shelf life under the newly formed government of the United States of America that was established via the Declaration of Independence on July 1, 1776.
In the short span of less than 87 years, this fledgling country had fought and ultimately issued an Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 abolishing slavery.
This Emancipation was fought and won thru the bloodiest of wars pitting countrymen against their fellow countryman at a cost of over 618,000 killed in battle.
Name another country in the history of mankind that paid such a heavy price in such a short amount time to free their fellow man from the bonds of slavery
I'll shut up and listen now.

What a gigantic waste of time on such a nice day.
No. If you were one that always "poked the bear" I would say the same. As stated by me earlier. Thinking this will do any different is silly. There are no right or wrong answers to the type questions, they change with the person.
ETA BB I hold you in high regard, as with most folks on here in which most I've never met.

Everyone needs to shut up and go fishing or something
Yeah, absolutely. I'm 100% fine admitting I'd never thought about the paradox until he brought it to my attention. He provided me with a new perspective, thus the thread. Your response was to label me a race-baiter, rather than discuss the topic at hand. That's the opposite of thinking; it's a weak, knee-jerk reaction.
And I don't understand your question about the "kind" of sermon it was? Guess I'd call it, "The Gospel" kind or "The truth" kind? Take a look, and get back to me with your analysis.
