Morality, you say?

Nonsense.

Others claim that they have the right to seize all land from its inhabitants according to their favourite book.

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites

You can always find a god to say what you want him to, provided you are selective enough in what you choose.

That'll be why they wrote it.

I wouldnt expect anything less from an evangelical. They actually hope and pray for the end of days and the rapture.

No religion represents peace.

Christianity is not a peaceful religion.

old testament plenty of wars, but there was no Christians in old testament.
the new testament any violence is Christ being crucified, and Christians being persecuted.

the world is not a peaceful place in general.

just to add , the peace that Jesus gives is deep peace within the soul. a peace this world cannot give.

White South African churches were easily able to justify their support of apartheid:

"But the NG Church has found biblical justification for South Africa's policy of ''separate development.'' The church places great literal importance on passages in the book of Genesis where God scatters the people of Babel and splits their one language into a diversity of tongues.

The NG Church says the differentiation of humanity into various languages and nations eventually led to racial differences. And as the 1974 report says:

''The diversity of races and peoples to which the confusion of tongues contributed is an aspect of reality which God obviously intended for this dispensation.''

Bishop Desmond Tutu was S.African.

White South African churches were easily able to justify their support of apartheid:

poor vinty has missed an important word.

or perhaps he thinks Desmond was white.

Being black didn't make him any less of a Christian.

White South African churches were easily able to justify their support of apartheid:

Vinty is even more deranged than I thought.

Your are being very selective, Presbyterianism in America encompassed many different view points.
Some Leading Presbyterians were slaveholders others were abolitionist.

Atheistic Communism has killed and enslaved more people than any religion.
