First quoted portion: about ownership. Of which slavery is ownership of a person.
Second part is my amusement that you consider me morally inferior to most atheists (probably including you) for believing that slavery is fine.
Morals are not made 'inferior' by being different.

Bleeding hearts would crow and say, that's cruel and unusual punishment! While electing to overlook that pedophilia, rape and murder was too. Often it is said the death penalty is no deterrent. I contend that's because it's all done in secret. Nail a few convicted pedophiles, rapists, murderers to a cross around the courthouse, nail a board above their head announcing the crime they're being punished for, and I bet any pedophile, rapist or murderer with eyes to see will not help but to learn that what hangs, dies and rots before their eyes is what foretells their own destiny if they pursue their cruel and unusual deviant behaviors.
Funny thing about showing off the consequences of an action: only adds incentive to not get caught.
Seeing pirates land behind bars or pay massive fines certainly never affected me pirating things. It did accomplish making me more cautious of doing so openly though. Don't care anymore since my library is now entirely 'legit'
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
