- koonsolo 7y agoI'm talking about the founders of the religions here, not entire cultures.
- tabtab 7y agoThe Bible, including New Testament, doesn't forbid slaves either. It was common and accepted practice in Roman times. If you lose a battle, you become a slave. That was considered a fact life then. (A great motivator to win, I must say.)
- koonsolo 7y agoAre you seriously doing your best to completely ignore what I'm saying? I'll make it really straight to the point then: - Did Jesus, the founder of Christianity, lead an army or have slaves? - Did Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, lead an army or have slaves? I'm really curious how you are going to twist these words again, you really seem to be good at it.
