the bible says it is OK to own slaves, beat children, presumably rape children because the church did lots of that. Also killing women who cheat on their husbands. Sorry just when you said you were a Christian I assumed you had read the bible and believed in its teachings. Or are you like every other hypocrite that likes to pick and choose the bits of the bible they listen to. And there is NO evidence that children of opposite sex couples do better. Look at you, presumably the spawn of 2 religious opposite sex zealots. They managed to produce an intollereant hateful hypocrite. Not exactly the poster child for your argument are you. So back to my original question how many slaves is it OK to own?
