/Monique Davis' African ancestors were not Christians; they had a different religion. They did not know that Jesus was the Lord. Now those ancestors spend each day in Hell, suffering unimaginable torture./
I'm Christian, but I refuse to believe that good people go to Hell just because they're of a different religion. For me, it would make far more sense for a good Hindu to go to heaven than an evil Christian.
/Fortunately for Monique, white people kidnapped some of her ancestors and brought them as slaves to America, where they were forcibly converted to Christianity; and this faith was passed on to her./
"Kidnapped?" "Forcibly?" "Slaves?" Those do not sound like fortunate words to me.
/If slave traders had not stolen her ancestors, Ms. Davis would be living in Africa now, worshipping false Gods, her eventual death resulting in her reunion with her ancestors -- in Hell./
Newsflash, Pierre, many Africans today are Christian. So, no, her family did not need to go through that torture.
/Doesn't she owe the slave traders who kidnapped her ancestors a debt of gratitude for bringing salvation to her family?/
No, just like I don't owe Turkish soldiers who ransacked and burned Smyrna a debt of gratitude for causing my grandfather's family to escape to Athens. I don't owe the Italians for attacking Greece and I don't owe the Nazis gratitude for invading and conquering Greece, killing and starving the Greek people, which later caused my grandfather to immigrate to America after the war. My relatively privileged upbringing here in America does not justify the years of oppression that my family had to endure, nor does it vindicate their oppressors.
/Shouldn't she express this gratitude publicly?/
No, because she would be thought an idiot. Should all descendants of Holocaust survivors come forward and thank the Nazis for killing their people, which caused their ancestors to flee to America? You are an insufferable, self-righteous moron.
