There it is - my first thought. Beat me to it, LastPoet.
Why didn't god tell his chosen tribe that slavery is wrong? Why didn't he tell them that killing each other is wrong, or rape, or taking each other's land, killing all the men of other tribes then taking all the virgin females for themselves was wrong - - - actually, if you believe the wholly babble and if you believe that a god exists, he TOLD them to kill and steal and rape. After all, it's not a crime when its done to somebody who worships those OTHER gods, you know. The god who made countless billions of galaxies, spanning distances so vast that the human mind can't even fathom the distance from here to Saturn - can't manage to tell a scruffy little tribe that slavery is wrong.
