not at all
1stly i dont need any defence, through my peoples desire to improve themselves we have reached a certain level of understanding of different races, ill be the first to admit christianity had a era that were not proud of but we have striven to better ourselves.
2ndly the bible is nothing more than a guide to understand the will of god, and how we as christians should act. Its written by people with all their flaws, who have experienced divine insperation to serve God, as a case example the Paul of Tarsus whom you have quoted above, basically hunted down and persecuted christians, untill confronted by god. even after his conversion he was treated with suspicion from those he persecuted but through his works and faith he achieved saint hood.
3rdly there is little evidence that the letters to cointhians are genuine, i looked them up in the bible i have here with me and they are not in it.
