Leviticus Chapter 25, verse 44

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

- So with the exception of taking the chosen ones as slaves it is permitted in the eyes of your God. No?

And dont forget if they are kept, the owner has to put the slaves ear on the door post and pierce it with an awl.. thats fed up!!

And when christians say.... oh that was the old testament and we dont do that anymore.. really!! A god use to allow that...DUMB JUST DUMB SHIT!!

inb4 Drich telling us that slavery is everywhere and it's our fault but it's not bad and we should just be good slaves or something plus a few bible verses nobody cares about.

Slavery is definitely bad, though the relationship with Yahweh is much like slavery, so of course he wouldn't want to abolish it. You talk about a guy that threatens you with eternal suffering if you don't live your life exactly how he wants. One step out of line, and you're a sinner who deserves torture for choosing to be your own person.

Just remember that Drippy or G-C will be along to tell you that their godboy fulfilled all the parts of the OT - even though he said he didn't - that cover shit like this. For some reason the only part that is still in force is the bit about queers.

They will have to explain that one to you. It's beyond my poor powers.

Jesus didn't say anything about abolishing slavery either. All he said was for slaves to be good to their masters.

A glaring omission by the supposed source of all "morality," eh?

As I said, it shouldn't be surprising when the leader is likened to a shepherd, and his followers a flock of sheep. Individuality and free thinking isn't exactly encouraged.

That's not right at all. In fact, if you don't individually free-think exactly what God wants you to, you're going to spend eternity on a spit roast.

That's only for Hebrew slaves. Hebrew slaves were treated better than foreign slaves.

Hebrew slaves were only to be kept for 7 years, then set free, UNLESS you found them a wife. If they decided they wanted to stay with the wife, then you were to pierce their ear with awl., and they would become your permanent property.

With slaves from foreign lands, all bets were off.
