What you're being is vague, are you suggesting that scripture really means one can't sell stolen slaves?
That's what it says, isn't it? That a person caught selling a stolen man is subject to punishment. Biblically, slavery is a-ok....stealing slaves, otoh, is not. That's pedestrian as all get out. Slave owners have always thought poorly of other slave owners who steal their human property.
How are you supposed to get the ditches dug if some asshole keeps taking your equipment?
If magic book wanted to tell us that slavery itself was verboten...presumably, it would have done so. It did and does not. It regulates and normalizes it, instead. Now...you can carry water for biblical slavery all you like, but I actually do own a few bibles..and what you can't do, is pretend that it's not in there. Not with me, at least, because I'm not a fuckin idiot compelled to memory hole every shitty thing about other people religions. I don;t have any patience for that nonsense. You, otoh, are a fucking slavery apologist. You'd love to insist that biblical slavery isn't the bad kind of slavery, as though there were some alternative good (or at least neutral) kind of slavery.
I hope that makes your folks real, real proud. There's nothing vague in what I said, it's just uncomfortable for you.
Well, tough shit, it's your stupid religion. Deal with it.
