What is with refusing to admit slavery is wrong?

I hate arguments like "it was normal back then", "everyone else was doing it" or "so-and-so put rules in place to make sure slaves were well treated". Why can't they just admit the author(s) of their religious text(s) were influenced by moral relativism? Why is it so hard for so many people to say that slavery is wrong?

It is hard for Christians because they would then be saying the Bible is wrong, or God is immoral.  They do not want to say either of those, so they say some nonsense trying to defend slavery, since God of the Bible is all for it.
