The only time I've ever heard slavery cast in a positive light is when someone observed that the descendants of slaves in the U.S. benefited from it since they live in a country where they are almost always better off than the people who live in the countries that their ancestors were taken from. I've never heard anyone claim that slavery itself was good or a positive thing.
I'm always still in trouble again

We Christians need to stop assuming that just because someone writes positively about the Bible, or Christ, are against abortion and is against modernity, that therefore everything checks out and they're something to emulate.
As it is, it stands as incredible ironic that Nick is praising a book by him on riposte given how he himself uses those techniques to mock and ridicule his female critics.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostStop calling him in to podcasts, having interviews with him, stop selling his books actively on apologetics websites. Stop passing out donation links. If you do a review of him, at least give a note saying you're aware of the things he's said. Or just leave him to that weird little cult he's gathered around himself. Start criticising him, stop criticising those who do when they're being fair.

I haven't read O'Reilly's Killing Jesus, but from what I heard, he doesn't have much respect for the reliability of Scripture. Apparently Rev. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas liked the book.When I Survey....
