If god is as omnipotent, omnipresent and as all knowing as Christians believe, then one could very easily argue that such a god would have no need for slavery. He could just have the necessary things people of that time needed, just appear ( you know, like that mana from heaven). There would be no need for people to do work for others because god could, with all his powers, just provide everything for everyone.
Another point - If he is supposed to be an all loving God, then why would he force bondage and slavery on those he supposedly loved? That doesn't sound like a very loving god to me.
