Is this the only alternative you have?
Lol, I suppose so.

Now there are times things are reported, but that doesn't mean they are supported. It's just talking about people and their traditions at a set time. "Slavery" was also viewed very differently than in modern times. There were slaves and masters, but there were guidelines to having slaves. The slaves were often such because they owed a debt. During the year of jubilee, the slaves were to be released. Some wanted to continue working for their master, and if they chose to, their ear would be pierced which was symbolic of their dedication to their master. If you're thinking of the Egyptians, then slavery was more brutal, but that's not something that was being supported, but rather reporting a historical account.
Don't be ridiculous. I can sniff your indentured servant lies a mile away. Jewish men could only be a slave for 7 years. Women and foreigners would be slaves for life. That's racism and sexism right there. Also, certain races were not allowed into the temple. You could charge foreigners interest but not Jews. Imagine if white people got interest-free credit cards and blacks never could get those. The fact that I have to spell this out for you in 2019 is ridiculous. Old news that you are pretending to not know. What is your problem?
What are you talking about? You have yet to post one thing that validates your claims. Where are you suggesting the bible tells people to take slaves for life just because? Also, where does it suggest that it's okay to abuse them? If you're going to make claims, maybe assert evidence for them.
Context is everything. If you have to change it to get the results you want, then there was no point in reading it in the first place.
