The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament

[robvalue]

God made slavery possible, and he knew that it would happen. Therefor, god made sure slavery was inevitable.

Trying to make excuses for an all-powerful being doesn't wash. If he wants things a certain way, then they are that way.

Free will is no excuse, since we have precious little of it anyway. We don't have the opportunity to do hardly anything that we could possibly imagine, including exploring the ~100% of the universe that is here "for us". We have to bust our guts and go mental just to get to the nearest crappy rock.

Yet we all have the option to grab and rape a kid.

This is not a reasonable set of options for someone who cares about human happiness. In what way does offering rape of kids do anyone any good? If it was never possible, never something we'd ever even think of, who exactly would miss it? God would, presumably. And while the kid is being raped, he loses his free will.
