Either apologist nutball "x" thinks slavery is shitty or not. The reasons, or lack thereof, don't even come into play. Meanwhile, every single page of "you can't judge slaver-god because your morality is an opinion" is a tacit defense of slavery.
Hey, more power to them, if they hold the opinion that slaver-god is a good god. So long as they can be consistent with that I don't have an ounce of critcism for the idea. Go, shout it out on the rooftops, tell everyone about this oh-so-very good god.
I do think slavery is "shitty". So is death, disease, natural disasters, crime, emotional damage, etc. I just happen to think that God allowing them has a higher purpose. You are right, it can become difficult to remain consistent from topic to topic.
I did not use subjective morality as a defense of the OT laws on slavery. It was after I ended my part of the discussion that I asked Veritas_Vincit about his statement "but morality is far better explained by evolution by natural selection." And then he said it was objective. He stumbled into that himself, let's see him dig himself out.
