"For the lord thy god is a jealous god among you."

Oh right, because it has to fit around the facts, at least loosely.

Too right it does. People in slave societies don't own slaves because God told them they could. They own slaves first and then use God as an excuse to justify human chattel: 'Well, if having slaves was wrong, our all-powerful God would stop slavery. Since we have these slaves, God must approve of slavery. QED.'

Twisty fucks.
