The fact that God set things up so that slavery is even possible in the first place makes him responsible should it happen.
So, are you saying caring about human well being is objectively moral, and not caring is objectively immoral?
That's moral objectivity.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
