"Christian"Hunters to justify wildlife cruelty - Genesis 27:3
Christian church to justify Slavery- Genesis 9:25-27.
Biblical passages recognized, controlled, and regulated the practice.

The Bible permitted owners to beat their slaves severely, even to the
point of killing them. However, as long as the slave lingered longer
than 24 hours before dying of the abuse, the owner was not regarded as
having committed a crime, because -- after all -- the slave was his
property.
"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it
is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to
Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people
of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency
in the arts." Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of
America. 1,2
Eventually, the abolitionists gained sufficient power to
eradicate slavery in most areas of the world by the end of the 19th
century. Slavery was eventually recognized as an extreme evil. But this
paradigm shift in understanding came at a cost. Christians wondered why
the Bible was so supportive of such an immoral practice. They questioned
whether the Bible was entirely reliable. Perhaps there were other
practices that it accepted as normal which were profoundly evil -- like
genocide, torturing prisoners, raping female prisoners of war, forcing
rape victims to marry their rapists, executing religious minorities,
burning some hookers alive, etc. The innocent faith that Christians had
in "the Good Book" was lost -- never to be fully regained.


Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are the Gentle
Blessed are the peacemaker
I desire mercy not sacrifice

Knowing
all these words of Jesus why would "Christian" animal killers thinks
God is happy with their horrible destruction of innocent life for self
gratification?"
