Antagonistic force

In the argument against slavery Christianity has been THE antagonistic force in the argument. There is a literal instruction manual in the book.

Hym "I'm not benefiting from an ethic right now I'm being performatively stalked and mocked. I'm dealing with an antagonistic force. What are you trying to say, guy? 'You're lucky we're not killing and torturing you anymore!' Aw, holy shit! You sound like Hym!"
