Ernst Haeckel-Evolutionist/Racist
In 1904 Haeckel, a zoologist in Germany, Darwin's greatiest popularizer wrote:
"The mental life of savages[negroes, orientals, aboriginies] rises little
above that of the higher mammals, especially the apes, with which they are
genealogically connected...Their intelligence moves within the narrowest
bounds, and one can no more speak of their reason than of that of the
more intelligent animals...These lower rases are psychologically nearer to
the mammals(apes or dogs) than to civilized Europeans; we must, therefore,
assign a totally different value to their lives."
"The Wonders of Life" p 56-57
Heackel also fabricated the false embryo montage showing capitulation.
These diagrams are even today remaining in many highschool and collage
biology text books. This shows the deceit and desperation of evolutionary
religionists in trying to breath life into their dead opinions.

Joseph R. Wilson-Christian/Racist/Slaveholder

In 1861 Wilson, a Presbyterian minister, wrote:

"What a pleasing scene would the institution of slavery exhibit, were all
our servants to yield their obedience in this spirit of the christian
religion! It would commend itself to true philanthropy as containing the
best system of labor which is allowable to fallen man. But alas! the
bondmen whom we own and employ, while occupying the most favorable
position for improvement and happiness that is possible to them, are, as
yet, far from being imbued with that love to God, which alone can raise
their lot to its highest dignity. We thank God that so many of them are
pious--that from so many of their comfortable houses comes the voice of
prayer and praise--and that so many of them are conscientous servitors of
man for Christ's sake." p 19

This shows the deceit and desperation of christian religionists in trying
to breath life into their dead moral values.


It truly amazes me that fundamentalist Christians, whose own holy book
upholds and sanctions the institution of slavery, would have the nerve to
accuse others of being racists. But I suppose people like IKHDY don't
believe those verses about hypocrisy apply to them. Just out of curiosity,
where did you get this quote from?

Here it is:

It's part of a long sermon he gave arguing the biblical basis for slavery.
The quote I gave above is towards the end.
Marcus
