The bible speaks of chattel slavery. To equate it with wage slavery is dishonest. Wage slavery may be an undesirable situation, but it is better than having no work at all, or being a chattel slave. The irony is that because the dictionary includes a lesser definition of slavery, you want to equivocate on the difference between the two. The slavery taught in the bible and the 'slavery' you are referring to are not the same thing. Take your pettifogging nonsense and shove it.
The bible does include rules for chattel slavery, yet it also includes rules for wage slaves as well. I am pointing out the bible's application of wage slavery because that is the slavery we as a world have embraced without acknowledging it. As a result of this non-acknowledgement wage slaves are treated as chattel slaves in alot of cases by companies if we are honest, we would have to acknowledge we all support or have supported while slavery was going on. All of this because 'morality' will not allow most people to acknowledge their role in any type of slavery.
I have not changed the definition of slavery. you all did. It is a broad term that encompass several different aspects of slavery, yet all you all want to identify is chattel slavery as the only meaning to that word. that allows you the automatic moral high ground, or so you think.
