Why is Faith/Belief a Moral Issue?

[robvalue]

Kingpin, are you really going down the road of being a slave apologist? I'm very surprised

A type of welfare? I assume you are trying to conflate indentured servitude with slavery. They are two completely different things. I hope you didn't already realise that; now you know.

Please tell me you're not serious with this... This is exactly what happens when an immoral disgusting book like the bible has to be defended as some sort of moral guide. It clearly says you can buy slaves, they are your property, and you can beat them as long as they don't die within a couple of days. It regulates slavery. In all the hundreds of arbitrary stupid laws God gave out, he could have just said "you can't own people as property". Done. If he can't do that, he's some pathetic God.

The bible, and these same passages, were used to keep slavery going even in fairly recent times. It provides righteous justification for those who believe the book has any meaning.
