    Craig,

    Exactly, in the reference frame of Christianity, everyone is born a "slave".

    In the reference frame of India untill the mid 1900's (not sure of it's prominence anymore), everyone was born into a caste.

    Just because some reference frame makes a claim, it does not make it true. They are both conventional beliefs that are equally unsubstantiated.

    Lee,

    But the real solution would be to take the high road and absolve everyone because of their innate innocence and offer them support and blessing without the threat of punishment for refusing that support. The fact that it happens in real life does not make it any more unjust.
