So while it is great that you personally consider all people to be equal, it is quite a stretch to claim that that is a universal view in Christianity. Shall we discuss how Christians treated native Americans (North and South America)? How about Pogroms?
That's not what I asked.
As I said, it wasn't really an argument. But I've already explained what I meant. If you're unable to comprehend the analogy, I don't think I have the capability to simplify it further.
