Christianity had little to do with it; like all religions, it is easily suspended when what you desire to do does not equal what the religion desires you do.

For slaves, certain interpretations of the Old Testament book Leviticus were perverted in order to justify the ownership of slaves; the same book was easily pervert to justify killing, not only of slaves but also of criminals and outcasts. It is still perverted today to justify homophobia and the murder of gay men and lesbians worldwide.
