Exodus 21

[Simon Moon]

So God was right to support economic boom at the expanse of people? I mean, economic prosperity is holy, right?

how about economic survival. how about that is what ALL your nasty ancestors were if not slaves themselves were also doing without a thought to regulation or rights.

Remember whatever you have to say here you only condemn your hypocritical selves. even today nothing has changed only our vocabulary concerning those who work dependant on the company because they do not get paid a living wage. (which is 2/3 of the planet) who would otherwise starve without their slave wage jobs.

I do considering no economy of any nation ever created has not been built on the backs of slaves that was successful. Meaning only an all knowing God knew the society needed slaves in order to get on it's feet and support it self. and I think this is evidence of an agape' filled God as no such rules has ever protected the rights of a slave. wich to this point and even after never been done. Meaning man never has been unprompted to mandate slave rights.

Dritch is a perfect example of how religion can cause someone to abdicate their humanity in difference to their ridiculous beliefs. Just look at how he has to stoop to false equivalency to 'wage slavery' in order to try to justify his support for slavery in the Bible.

Sorry Dritch, but there is no hypocrisy. The Bible condones slaves as chattel, with ability to pass them to your children, to beat them as long as they don't die in a couple of days, that you are allowed to take slaves from "the heathens around you"....

Also, there is no hypocrisy, because we never claim that humanity is infallible, maximally moral or maximally powerful (as Christians claim for their god), so we are likely to make moral mistakes. So, your god is so weak, that he couldn't come up with any other method other than owning other people as property, in order to create viable economies?

What a small, weak god you believe in, Dritch.
