These days slaves are drawn from whichever young women are most attractive and not sufficiently protected.
In most recent slavery prosecutions in the UK the victims were middle-aged men "employed" as farm laborers. 'Twas ever thus.

It does not look like Trump is scientific minded.
We can pray from home.
To what continent does England belong? , I always thought that geographically at least the British isles were part of Europe
Quote from: Europan Ocean on 28/06/2020 16:08:29Religion and spirituality can make it harder to call others sub human. The one thing all religions have in common is that each one teaches you to despise all the others. The sooner the national curriculum drops "religious tolerance" in favor of intellect and logic, the better. Meanwhile, as a brief interlude in the Catholic-Protestant war, we have Sunnis and Shias killing one another and Boko Haram taking schoolgirls into slavery for the greater glory of the Abrahamic God and his Prophet. India and Pakistan having been partitioned on religious grounds, the slaughter continues from time to time. Religion, of course, deals with eternal truths and unchanging morality. Such as whether women are fit to be priests and whether priests should molest children.
Religion and spirituality can make it harder to call others sub human.
Surely some religions and spiritualities teach love. I think of reconciliation with first peoples.
Mother Theresa of Calcutta, charities, CFAN going from Germany, once military, to Africa and loving pagans and Muslims, appealing to them to love Jesus.
Sure some people tragically love Jesus but hate His enemies. But that is not what Jesus wanted. The Christians are a different lot from the Muslims and Hindus.
It seems the RCC finished with bad priests secretly just over thirty years ago, with the last reports of abuses seeming to stop then. But they were sluggish.
I don't hate Catholics and Anglicans. We fellowship. I get on with Buddhists and Muslims also.
I think instead of tolerate religion, embrace spirituality. Worship light and love and compassion and honour and wisdom. Instead of money and cars, and pleasures... which can lead to greed.
The churches are conscientious and are able as a whole to repent. The church laws change.
Terms like Human and subhuman are 20th century ideas coming to fame in Nazi Germany.
The churches refer to souls
and the cross is for all of them.
The medieval church was greatly in the wrong with some shining stars, the saints. And the revivalists.
I think the confessional is used to determine who can and who can’t become a priest…
The remnant of Native Americans in Canada. There has been some effort to reconcile with them.
So a husband tells his wife their conception best be aborted to save money for a new car and for a better sex life.
The stain of sin matters. Christ Jesus paid for it by the work on the cross,
He can restore
and pardon
We respect blood transfusions,
But aren’t those cases of bad priests thirty years old?

Quote from: Europan Ocean on 07/07/2020 12:14:08The remnant of Native Americans in Canada. There has been some effort to reconcile with them. I see no great exodus of the white people occupying native land, and at least in Quebec, Christians get preferential tax rates. QuoteSo a husband tells his wife their conception best be aborted to save money for a new car and for a better sex life. Abortion is always distasteful and an admission of poor planning, but is it a Good Thing to make babies you can't feed? Or to demand that a 10-year-old girl carry to term? QuoteThe stain of sin matters. Christ Jesus paid for it by the work on the cross, Does his "work" exonerate all sins, only those committed before AD, or only those committed thereafter? Committed by whom? And what definition of sin? Isn't your statement a licence to do any damn thing you like, because the price has been paid in advance?QuoteHe can restore Evidence? Quoteand pardon Why? What's wrong with just retribution and punishment, if only to deter others? QuoteWe respect blood transfusions, So "we" excludes Jehovah's Witnesses and a few others.
