That is a great example of out of context.... because it is in no way commanding slavery. Actually; on second thought context is not necessary.... it just doesn't say what you say it does.
What you're saying sounds so familiar. Like those Christians who assure me the bible doesn't say god hardened pharaoh's heart. I have no use for a book that doesn't mean what it says or say what it means. Keep doing whatcha doing, baby. A chameleon is always right, never wrong.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
