Okay, I have three different questions for you, which are related to each other. I would ask that you read each question in order, and think carefully about each question, formulating your answer to each one BEFORE reading the next question. Oh, and if the second question doesn't apply to you, don't post an answer.
Okay, now for the questions:
1. Many people believe that blacks in the United States should be given compensation from whites because their ancestors were slaves some 150 years ago. Do you believe that white people should be morally required to provide this compensation?
***
2. If you believe, either literally or metaphorically, in the biblical account of Adam and Eve eating the apple, do you think that modern people morally deserve to go to Hell for a choice which their distant ancestors made and which they had no power over?
***
3. Now, if you answered 'no' to the first question and 'yes' to the second question, how do you reconcile those two positions?
