In 1668, Quakers in Germantown, PA adopted the first resolution opposing slavery.

You can thank Christians for this.
A few thoughts...

1) So did many atheists.
2) Does this mean I can thank Christians for bringing the practice of slavery with them to the U.S.?
3) Far more Christian organizations in the U.S. supported slavery than opposed it. The quakers were an exception, not the rule. In fact, were more believers like the Quakers in faith and practice, I'd have far fewer issues with Christianity.

JW Frogen, my new favorite noob poster:

If you are such a weak jellyfish you can be bullied on a forum where you can ignore any poster you do not want to read than I suggest you move to Tibet, convert to Buddhism, protest the Chinese occupation, be killed as you will by the Chinese and hope you come back with some form of backbone.
