Faith Acts Like An Anesthetic Which Deadens the Pain Felt For Others

If you were a naked slave with your family on the auction block under the threat of the blood soaked cowskin, where your family members were bought by different masters, wouldn't YOU wish your God had clearly condemned slavery? It's as if Christians refuse to feel their pain. Feel it. The problem is that your faith acts like an anesthetic in order to believe, by deadening the pain from stepping into other people's shoes. Faith is the opiate of the masses in this sense too.
