I am pretty sure that the Bible is literal on the writers' view of slavery. There is no evidence that they were not speaking of actual slavery. I have heard some say that slaves were treated better and that slavery was a different business back them. None of this is indicated. In fact, history tells us that slavery has always been as we view it now, forcing a person to work for you. The only reason why Christians warp the teachings of the Bible is because without doing so, they would either have to accept slavery or suffer some level of cognitive dissonance. You cannot believe the Bible is the word of god and not believe in slavery without fucking with your own head. Therefore, they lie to themselves.
