Here, try this, I think anyone who endorses indentured servitude, as it is, as it was, or your own novel use of the term, is a piece of shit. They're all wrong for the same reason, and anyone who endorses any of them is getting the same thing wrong. Christanity would be in a poor spot moving forward in the world if it were as difficult for other believers as it has been for you to separate their religions from their garbage takes on labor exploitation.
It's pointless to try and argue me out of my position on labor exploitation, or to find some other garbage take on some other thing with which to mount a doomed argument from hypocrisy. It's pointless to talk about how you're descended from slaves, or to complain about moral grandstanding. The question has been asked and answered. Does christianity support slavery? Well, some peoples' christianity certainly does, they see no way around it or without it, and feel compelled to extoll it's virtues or make excuses for it - as predicted on page one. Other people think those people and their christianity are shit.
I dunno man you seem to be talking out both side of your neck, how can indentured servitude be illegal and unethical if you claim to have experienced it through the American judicial system? Your words, not mine.
