White Christians were the first group in the history of the world to figure out that slavery was immoral, and fought worldwide to end this universal scourge. Guess who is the only group now blamed for the historical worldwide practice of slavery? No good deed goes unpunished.

The people who follow a book that tells who to enslave and how to enslave people forever interesting.

You're not getting the point. You can't take credit for being the first ones to see it's immoral when your holy book is what you used to justify your enslavement of a group of people. Especially when you aren't even the first group to see it's immoral.

im sure many groups saw it as inherently immoral, yet sought to utilize slavery for their own economic gains, regardless of biblical teachings. I'd like to think that we transcended our own greed and realized the error of our ways in the end.

So you're saying they became moral enough to say this shit is terrible but not moral enough to change much

I don't know about your experiences, but i grew up in the states and have yet to run into people who have been sold into slavery. I chalk that up as a notable change, yeah?

My point is Christianity isn't some grand source of morality.

It certainly is, theologically speaking
