Pretty much a lame metaphor?

I cant speak for all religions but the bible promotes slavery soo.... yes they can be bad all by themselves.

I went through a phase where I read a lot about this and I ended up concluding that African Americans aren't any more likely to engage in criminal activity than whites. It's uncertain but probable that common street crime occurs at very close to the same rate but whites are more likely to commit white collar crimes like fraud, embezzlement, illegal predatory lending and so on. So if you're judging an ethnicity strictly by proclivity to crime (assuming that's a negative) we don't really have the data to know for sure who's worse but it's my hypothesis that whites are more prone to criminal behavior. I wouldn't judge an ethnic group by this standard anyway. Contrary to race, religion is a belief system, and it's quite reasonable to hold a prejudice against people who proclaim to believe stupid and dangerous things, like Muslims.

slavery existed not because of the The Bible rather slavery is in the Bible because it was already the reality

The bible explains specifically how to treat slaves, who can be your slave, and loopholes for keeping your slaves after they've served you..

One of many examples:
Leviticus 25:44-46 - supposedly from God Himself..

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

clearly not promotion.

Equating hiphop albums to religious doctrine.. lol at the straws you'll grasp to justify your position.

[DwnWthVwls]

lol

lol

I thought I made it clear that the bible promotes slavery, not the people who follow it.. Bad religion =/= bad people, because most people are morally superior to the god they worship. Indoctrination is a real bitch.
