Guess he doesn't know that Amazing Grace was written by a Slave trader!

And for those that think that Newton changed after becoming a Christian ..

Quote
John Newton (1725-1807) first worked as a slave buyer in Africa and later moved on to a position of captain on slave ships.
He continued to make his living in the slave trade after becoming a Christian at the age of 23 in 1748.

A violent storm at sea brought about his commitment to Christianity, but it was escaping with his own life that inspired him to get religion, not guilt over enslaving others. (Though this event is often pointed to as "the" conversion, it really was only the first of many such pacts with the Almighty struck by Newton, each one brought about by his close shaves with
death.)

Newton quit the sea (and the slave trade) in 1754 or 1755. He did not free any of his merchandise on that 1748 trip, or on any others.

Though he might have become a Christian, he did not yet allow it to interfere with his making a living.
And .. I am using the Libs very own Bible of Truth site for this information!
