The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament
#51
RE: The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament
The problem, I think, is that you see morality as being both about wellbeing and about what God wants at the same time. But it's a contradictory/redundant belief. If we already know what is good for wellbeing, what God says is unimportant. And if God ever says anything which isn't good for wellbeing, they are not the same thing. Clearly he does, in the only communication we have, and your reaction is to reject god's morality in favour of your own. Just like an atheist would do. It doesn't matter if God says it or not, we agree slavery is bad for human wellbeing.
Feel free to send me a private message.
