(July 17, 2011 at 10:48 pm)Judas BentHer Wrote: The Bible is a guide book to becoming a slave of god. So slavery in the Bible represents that of being a servant to two masters. The mortal, as in true slavery, as in the Bible being used during the slave era in the U.S. as a directive of god that it was righteous and good to enslave blacks because they bore the mark of Cain and as such were like unto animals and had no soul.
Believers, sheep and all that post implies as sacrificial beasts by the will and to the glory of god, are asked to serve the Master;god.
There's an atheist website that speaks to this and other matters in the Bible. Evilbible.com
This passage is relevant to slavery in the Bible.
And this site is simply one of many Christian sponsored sites that commend being a slave to a malevolent master.
Apologists can excuse what is written about slavery in the Bible all they want. However, a god that commands mass murder, genocide, infanticide, matricide, patricide and drowns the whole world and countless people save for one family through which inbreeding was to replenish the earth of new born sinners, can never be said to not command slavery as well.
The Bible's Satan is more humane than is the Bible's god.
You are referring to Judiasm. Christianity doesn't have a personal God. The domain of the Source is outside of time and space. Christianity has the son within the confines of creation and the Spirit.
