Of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others … between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping … partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land …

Frederick Douglass

The man who wields the blood-[stained leather whip] during the week fills the pulpit on Sunday, and claims to be a minister of the meek and lowly Jesus. The man who robs me of my earnings at the end of the week meets me as a class-leader on Sunday morning, to show me the way of life, and the path of salvation. He who sells my sister, for purposes of prostitution, stands forth as the pious advocate
  • f purity. He who proclaims it a religious duty
to read the Bible denies me the right of learning to read the name of the God who made me.

❑ They oppressed widow and orphan (1:16-17) ❑ They carried out injustice and bloodshed (5:7) ❑ They tolerated bribery and injustice (5:23) ❑ They deprived the needy, robbed the poor (10:1-2) But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters wickedness.
