95. Remember that in Apartheid South Africa the churches were ready
with their scriptural justifications for Apartheid and Slavery also found a large number of church sanctioned justifications based on the inferiority of certain races.So, yes, the history of churches is one that no one should be proud. Now we see the likes of Falwell and Robertson cheerleading an illegal war with mainline churches staying mum on the sidelines.It is not a pretty picture. It has fallen to us DUers to point these things out.If some DUers want to pretend everything is hunky dory in the land of OZ and their feelings are hurt by someone telling the truth, so be it.
