The purpose of pulling back the curtain on slavery are first for the benfit of the slaves society employs to 'do the dirty work' we all need done. Two it shows a standing hyprocrisy in those who want to 'morally condemn' God for condoning slavery/setting rules for it.
Because the hypocrite is quick to point out how God has rules for slaves, and the hypocrite while benefiting from slaves turns a blind eye to slavery allowing these monster corporations to treat slaves as horridly as they see fit. (because again according to the all powerful consumer who turns a blind eye, slaves do not exist so we need not ask any questions to the nature of how our fav products reach out stores!
Quote: If anything causes humans to use others as forced labor, or sex slaves, still has nothing to do with a sky hero existing. It would be because of lack of economic stability though. Humans that are not desperate and have more of the basics are less likely to be a desperate criminal or a desperate victim.Which isn't the pop culture definition of 'slavery' but is indeed slavery by the definition of the word. Not paying a living wage, making people sign impossible work quota contracts (contracts that indebts a person to produce so much product per hour/or work so many hours per week till a given end date. Literally makes them a slave/can not leave till their contract is complete or they in some cases can buy themselves out!) All examples of slavery, not used to prove God, but to show the hypocrisy in those who want to judge God for condoning slaves.
We also have that "modern slavery" in the form of exploding pay gap. It causes labor to have to work more for less and be at the mercy of big corporations who pass them around like poker chips.
(using the same measure to judge you, as you use to judge God, and showing you how far your 'moral judgments fall short!)
