Susan Wise Bauer- How did Christian slave owners justify slavery?

Acton Media's seventh short video from their new documentary The Birth of Freedom features Susan Wise Bauer, author of The History of the Ancient World.

Understand from which you came and then you will know where you need to go! #luvblk I Do!!!!!!!!

Religion is a Bunch Buffoonery!

Religion (an invented system) is a bunch of buffoonery used to subjugate the minds of buffoons! I do not support pedophilia, rape, homophobia, or thrill killing but I understand that just because someone has fucked up ways has nothing to do with their knowledge...some of the most horrific people had minds of geniuses. With that said don't take what someone tells as truth...use your mind, research, and learn for yourself! #luvblk I Do!!! 

My spiritual beliefs guide me towards truth.

Some would say: (All you folks who mindlessly follow this guy; or any other religious teacher for that matter, better start asking questions, question the answers and use the mind the creator gave you. Go research, read and study for yourself!!) He was arrested in May 2002 on charges of molesting children inside the compound.

Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narrative. 

Unchained Memories is a 2003 documentary film about the stories of former slaves interviewed during the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers' Project and preserved in the WPA Slave Narrative Collection. This HBO film interpretation directed by Ed Bell and Thomas Lennon is a compilation of slave narratives, narrated by actors, emulating the original conversation with the interviewer. The slave narratives may be the most accurate in terms of the everyday activities of the enslaved, serving as personal memoirs of more than two thousand former slaves. The documentary depicts the emotions of the slaves and what they endured. The "Master" had the opportunity to sell, trade, or kill the enslaved, for retribution should one slave not obey.
