Paul didn't say people can't have slaves. He just said they were equal under god. While he did say you can't have sex with people you aren't married to,(shitty to unmarried people but would prevent some rapes) he didn't say you can't rape your child wife. Which I'm sure happened.
He never even said the people at the top can't economically exploit those at the bottom. That still went on and still goes on today.
I find his statement "if you don't work you don't eat" to significantly contribute to the way right wing Christians often exclude those too disabled to work.
Much of what he said was just a repetition of the mores of the time. Like saying women have to be submissive to their husbands and can't speak in Church. Wouldn't want to hear any of the strange thoughts of those inferior weemens.
In terms of Christianity in general it's so ridiculous they'll tell you it's wrong to masturbate. That's trying to impose a violation of your basic right to control your own body.
I don't believe the people that wrote the Bible were so stupid as to think that you stop thinking about sex if you don't masturbate. They couldn't all have had near nonexistent libido.
It's calculated to make being single a punishing experience so that anyone with the slightest chance to reproduce within marriage will do so.
They really didn't care what it does physically and mentally to anyone who can't marry.
This was manipulative and a sick violation of both rights and basic decency.
If the Christians outbred the Muslims or whoever else, that's all they cared about.
