    Slavery was justified in large part for religious reasons.

      …but it was the slavery that was the worst outcome, right?

        I think you could just say control of the masses as the worst thing that has happened. Slavery is part of that control.

        There’s a bunch of torture, murder and human sacrifice that stemmed from religion too. Those are pretty bad IMO.

          You’re not wrong, but it’s bad form to say “slavery isn’t worse than X”

            Why? Do you think slavery is worse than cannibalistic child rape and murder?

              It’s like saying “all lives matter” in the context of “black lives matter”

              it’s not wrong. but that’s not the right time to say it.
