Wait what? Fair?
You can force your slave to marry you? Oh, and if you don't give her the things she has a right to as a wife, she can go (yay, free!) - butwithout any money or anything else (how would she survive?).
You can beat them to an inch of their life - hey as long as you don't kill them?
Let's be clear, the 'nice' rules are only for the slaves of hebrew descent. Yes, those people are actually just a sort of servents. But no so for the slaves of other origins! Those are slaves for life, can be inherited as their master dies, and there are barely any rules to protect them, other then 'do not kill it'. Slaves from other origins are lifestock, and their master can pretty much do with them as he pleases.

When I was a Christian, I was annoyed with dogmatic condescending Christians. Now that I'm an atheist, I'm annoyed with dogmatic condescending atheists. Just goes to prove that people are the same, regardless of what they do or don't believe.
