Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

Read up on the restavek problem. It is a societal problem with customs and poverty, not a Christian one. You are judging Haitians behavior sitting in your posh London flat, go there and visit the starving family in the slum with ten kids and then maybe I'll consider your opinion on how moral or immoral the practice of restavek might be.

Christian beliefs in 2010 are clear on the topic of slavery. I could point out at least 10 other customs practiced by social groups of supposedly Christian people. It reflects their culture, not the religion.

First of all, you can take your ad hominem argument about my life and stick it in a dark and inconvenient place. I rent a room in a converted Council House. I am currently sharing with three other people. There was police tape outside when I walked in today. Posh it is not. And, even if it were, I try to extend you the privilege of attacking your arguments, and not your life. Could I ask the same?

Second, my statement was in reply to Occhi, who said the following:

Slavery is alive and well on this planet, but oddly enough, not among Christians.

You can talk about how the restavek problem is "not a Christian problem" all you like; your scotsmen are getting truer by the minute. But this example still contradicts Occhi's statement, which was its whole purpose.
