Strange, isn't it, that when this subject is discussed, the admirable side of the subject is ignored completely?
It's possible that England would still be providing slave ships to transport human cargo had it not been for the lifelong efforts of men like William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson (founder of The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade) who, motivated entirely by their Christian views, worked for and achieved the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which ended British trade in slaves. Both (and many others) went to their graves fighting against such injustices.
Here in the U.S. the 'Underground Railroad' ... a system of churches (and others) that helped escaped slaves move through a series of 'safe houses' to Canada and other destinations. The system was supported by numerous churches and allied church groups such as Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Congregationalists, Wesleyans, and Reformed Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists.
During our 'Civil War' nearly 500,000 men gave their lives to free the slaves, motivated, in large part, by their Christian views.
Even in the 1950's and 60's, during the height of the 'Civil
Rights' struggle, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and a lot all the other leaders (both black and white) came from Christian churches.
Strangely (or so it seems) the first relief of natural disasters comes from dedicated Christian organizations. Remember the tsunami of Christmas Day in Sumatra a few years ago? First on the scene was "Gospel for Asia (GFA) who had more than 200 workers in the affected areas within a day, and son after had more than 1,000 of its 15,000 native missionaries involved in the relief efforts in India, Sri Lanka and the Andaman Islands." Quite a while before any governmental relief was effective.
On and on it goes. Have there been abuses by organized religion? Absolutely, but one cannot fairly judge them by only those stats.
So, how's this mind control thing working? I certainly don't see it here in the U.S., but then perhaps there's more evidence of it in Europe and the U.K.
