"Kidnappers must be put to death, whether they are caught in possession of their victims or have already sold them as slaves" - Exodus 21:16

Please explain how American slave traders adhered to that particular law?

More dishonest? say it ain't so.  

Leviticus 25:44-46
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you.  You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.  You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.  You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way

Treating other people like property sounds like the American slave trade to me. Don’t you feel a little embarrassed calling someone dishonest when you’re the one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_slavery
You guys can't seem to get through your thick skulls that it was common practice for people to SELL THEMSELVES

Quote:Voluntary slavery (or self-sale) is the condition of slavery entered into at a point of voluntary consent. In ancient times, this was a common way for impoverished people to provide subsistence for themselves or their family and provision was made for this in law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_slavery

Quote:Ancient Israelite society allowed slavery; however, total domination of one human being by another (as the Israelites suffered under Egyptian rule) was not permitted.[16][17] Rather, slavery in antiquity among the Israelites was closer to what would later be called indentured servitude

The Law clearly prohibits kidnapping or purchasing anyone that was kidnapped.

And before you guys get on your high horse, indentured servitude is not immoral... it's easy to judge while you live a life of privilege.

Indentured servitude still exists in Haiti. My mother-in-law, who is Haitian has servants living in her house. They cook and clean for room and board. It's either that or starve. There's few jobs in Haiti and the money's pretty much worthless anyway.

I'd like to hear what solutions you guys would offer....

So you attended a messed up church, your point? or are you seriously trying to lump every church in to one group.

Pot = Kettle.

You do the exact same thing to atheists. You lump us all into one group and insinuate that we are either angry at a magical non-existent thing or that we hate that magical non-existent thing.

Get the fuck over yourself, you unimportant pile of shit.

Nah. Not gonna do it.

Just take off your atheist-colored glasses and read the posts without bias. You'll see.

Translation: I know I'm talking out of my ass and if I try to mischaracterize a specific person's position they'll hand my ass back to me. So I'll just make a generic accusation and blame you for not automatically conceding that I'm right.

You all feel the need to join a forum and rant about said "magical non-existent thing"...... Who's the joke on?

In what way do you support these claims? Your bible? How do you support your bible? With faith?


The natural universe is in NO way a testament to the accuracy of scripture. Quite the opposite, in fact. If what evidence suggests about the Universe is true, then the bible is certainly not true...oh, excuse me..."metaphorical" (read: horse shit).


Godschild, confirmation bias is the sole reason all these posts indicate to you that the people here are angry at god. You have already decided we're angry, so you will twist around anything put in front of you until you're convinced that it's just "more evidence" of your claim. That or you ignore it. You god people love to simply ignore things you can't refute.


Furthermore, I have read ALL of you theist's posts carefully, and you have shown your true colors. I can tell that you're really just mad at . It's clear that at some point in your past, someone who follows    hurt and disappointed you, or maybe you just didn't understand properly, and that's why you decided to reject it. You'll surely deny this, but this denial is just more evidence of how mad you are at and its people, the Noodly Order of Atheism and Science and Stuff. Your mind is closed, your heart is hard, and so cannot reveal itself to you. Why do you hate ?

I think this song will answer the difficulties we have been having. Time for a musical interlude.

Warning: may cause unexpected levels of awesome.

Thus sayeth the "intellectual" among our resident Christians.  I missed your smug pointlessness, Chad.  Welcome back.

Actually many of the things I prove you guys wrong on has nothing to do with religion.

Right, but we're all just here to rant about "magical non-existent thing"... Way to discredit your own point, idiot.
