I've heard that about blacks, but not women. Have a sister in Florida that goes to a hate church that teaches blacks are nothing but animals ( God help her ). Of course I don't communicate with her any more because I have been engaged to a black woman.
Some people is sooo blind !

I don't know of any widely held belief that Black people have no souls-- Christian tradition teaches that the three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japeth, fathered the Semite, Caucasian, and ***** peoples, and that they are of the same flesh and blood.
Mormon Church doctrine was at one time that Blacks could not be ordained, nor attend certain services, I don't know if this was do to a belief in their lack of souls or not.
At one time it was widely believed by evolutionists that Blacks were a lower, less evolved subspecies of homo sapians (both Hitler and Stalin, for example, made that belief official state policy) but so far as I know, evolutionists don't believe anyone has a soul.
So, I don't think I can support that with any history I know.

Yes, throughout history, whenever one group of people want to be able to subjugate or exterminate another group of people, they portray them as less than human, somehow inferior. Blacks, Jews, women, infidels....all portrayed as being less than human....this has been repeated over and over again.
In fact, this still goes on today. One needs only examine the abortion debate to see that this is true. An unborn baby is not a "person", but is merely a "fetus". For if they were considered people, then they would be afforded protections like any other living being, right? So to be able to kill them, we need to dehumanize them, make them less, they aren't real humans, they don't really have a soul.....it is acceptable to kill them.
What is truly amazing is that people are blind to the fact that this continues today.

The early catholic church was very afraid of the amount of power that women had in the early christian church. They made up a lot of nonsense to get the power away from these women.
It worked, look at the church today. Women are relegated to a level of inferority where about all they can do in the church is sweep up after the men are done.

I don't know what you mean by "long ago".. The first non Jew that became a Christian was Black. God used a miraculous event to make sure that the Ethiopian was taught and brought into the family of God.. Christ gave and received comfort from women and called them justified above men.. So you teaching here is NOT the Gospel of the Church... Jim

Some people today believe that there isn't anyone that has a soul. The question for those people should be what evidence do you have? It is absolutely beyond belief that in an age of science we still have people judging others based on the color of their skin.

Folks will always come up with an excuse not to treat other people equally.
Yes, there was a time in America when Black people were thought of as just animals, not human, it was one of the things that made slavery palatable.

nobody has a soul. once you die you rot in the ground. and then become worm food and then worm poop and then u become part of the earth. then you turn into mud when it rains also.
But yest they did use to descriminate againts blacks back then in the bible and women but then edited it out. Just like it says gays are going to hell in the bible.

they used to believe that.
They figured that white males were special and they had this magical thing called a "soul"
Through science we have found that no one group is superior to another and this "soul" is just imaginary.

They don't have souls. But then neither do white males, or anyone else.
