One was based on those that were black and one happened because of those that were in debt and it wasnt based on the skin color and furthermore, they had freedom and religious holidays off . None of that happened in modern day slavery. They are NOT THE SAME!!
Just an excuse. Both slavery. Both wrong.

Death comes to all of us, and it is permanent. Belief will not save you.
Quote:And you saying that Hell is something that was invented to scare people is your opinion and it isnt biblical either!
Why should I care if something is Biblical? The Bible is an anthology of extremely silly mythology.
Quote:And what did God say to Job when he questioned Him?
Translating it into the modern vernacular, it comes out as roughly equivalent to "I'm in charge here. Suck it up, sunshine."
Quote:Also, God isnt the one torturing anyone. And He isnt insane.
Just your opinion.
Quote:The reason God would punish someone for eternity for temporal sins committed on earth is based on who the sin is against, not on the size of the sins.
Well, since your alleged god is supposedly many times more powerful than mortals, and also eternal, theoretically no mortal's actions should be able to hurt it. Therefore, the punishment should be very close to zero.
Quote:That doesnt matter. The Bible says Sin demands death. it doesnt matter if we sin 1 time or 100 million times, one sin is bad enough that it demands death. Learn to read what the Bible says.You are absolutely clueless as to what the Bible says. It is frightening.
The Bible also mentions a Talking Snake in Genesis 3. Kindly obtain one (1) Talking Snake and have it shipped to my house at your earliest convenience.
I know very well what the Bible says -- which is why I don't believe it.
