So you "just don't get it", eh Jackie.

Well, I guess that's because you agree with Doug Wilson. You think it's 
okay for one human being to own another (at least under certain 
circumstances), that the bible permits Christians to own slaves, that 
slave-owning is not an abomination, and that since the bible doesn't 
condemn slave-owning, you can't condemn it either. 

If so, then you would feel right at home at Christ's Church, Jackie. 
Where else will you find a pastor who believes it is moral for one 
person to own another?

But if you decide, along with the rest of humanity, that slavery in 
itself is a monstrous evil, and that it is wrong always, everywhere, for 
anyone to own another human being as a slave-- no matter how they are 
treated, then you'll probably decide to attend church elsewhere.
