If you tell me to interpret slavery within its historical context, you are saying that this is a book written by humans. I was told this is the word of god and that the Law of Moses was inspired by god himself. Since the Mosaic Law condones slavery, then god condones slavery. I was told that god is the same today, yesterday and forever. How is this true if I have to interpret his word in its historical context rather than as his timeless message to all humans?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
