I am saying it's both more just and more moral than the bible's justice and morality.
It's a feat that isn't too difficult to accomplish.
agreed that it is not perfect and that it is more just. i don't agree that it is morally better. many laws are very morally wrong which if i mention i'm sure it would start a political debate.

What sort of ass backwards arguement is that?
same one that says some murders are more heinous than others. don't you agree?

yes, and this was wrong which is why God set them free. it never calls this kind of slavery good.
TheDarkestOfAngels Wrote:Others just get along with multiple wives.
Wives don't really have that much more freedom than slaves in the bible anyway.
yes, but the difference between slaves and wives is that God commands husbands to love their wives.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
