[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics

[Deesse23]

I don’t believe that people CAN be property due to my definition of property.

You are free to define any god into existence, as you are free to define (biblical) slavery out of existence.
I am free to call BS for both attempts to do so. You clearly have nothing left if you have to resort to such last ditch attempts of word games on such an issue.

This isn’t about whether biblical exegesis promotes slavery or misogyny, which I’m certain many people here believe.

The universe does not care what you believe about it. Likewise the facts of biblical misogyny and promotion of slavery do not care if "some" believe". The fact that someone like you is free to disbelieve (= ignore) those well established facts does not make them go away, nor does it make slavery or misogyny an issue under dispute. It only shows your inability or unwillingness to distance yourself from a book full of immoralities. Attempts of redefining slavery and ignoring misogyny are to avoid cognitive dissonance. You are much better than your holy book, but you cant let go, so you have to rationalize.

Let’s say I do believe in slavery for the sake of argument. I don’t believe slaves could be considered property. Less than, second class, a whipping post, bad people sure… but not property because they have their own will.

How much "free will" does a slave actually have when the slave owner is legally allowed to cancel any idea the slave likes to act upon by any countermeasure? Considering slaves not to be property because you cant control their thoughts, thats is a real desperate way to redefine slavery with respect to the property issue.
Even if we grant, for the sake of argument, that what the bible promoted was not "owning another human being as property", its still immoral what the bible promoted, and you are still trying to downplay all of this.
It doesnt matter if the most batshit crazy baptist considered women being property or not. If he follows the written word of the bible, then he is following misogynist ideas.

Downplaying horrible ideas of the bible does not make them good ideas, it just makes them (somewhat) less horrible.
