If society can't function without the use of slavery, as is the claim here, whose fault is that? Who made the rules?
I'm pretty sure that if I made any sort of environment for beings to live in, given the power to literally decide what would and wouldn't be possible, I'd make it so slavery wasn't just unecessary but actually physically impossible.
Religion, far from being the source of morality, corrupts it. It stops it being able to evolve and improve towards the goal of human wellbeing by dogmatically sticking to outdated principles and beliefs.
Easy, Rob. God prohibited slavery as a moral wrong the same way he banned rape: by putting it in the Ten Commandments.
What do you mean, you can't find it? It's right between the strict prohibition against boiling a goat in its mother's milk and the one that says whatever first comes out of a womb belongs to God.
So God gets every first period?
Full of nutrition I suppose.
