-And that's how we lose the thread, Tack. First you contend that you do not see a thing..and then, breathlessly, transisition into exaltation of the very thing you just claimed not to see. Not here for it. Insult someone else, and insult yourself, on someone else's time. Meanwhile, magic book condones -no- abolishment of slavery. None. Zilch. Nada. If these are your criteria, it fails by your own criteria. It does endorse the shit you've been maintaining that it doesn;t, it does command the shit you've been claiming that it doesn't, ..and it doesnt do the modifying thing..already a concession, that you now insist.
That's you. You're doing that. Not magic book. Not the culture that wrote it. It's how you see it but not how they saw it or indeed how they wrote it. What it does, what they did, what's actually in it - all of your own failure conditions. -and yet.....we have to bicker as though we don't both read the same words in the same language, on the same page. I get that you want it to be better than it is. That's why I think that you're a decent person whereas Huggy, for example, is a piece of shit..but has a more true to text faith than you.
You argue it doesn't say what it does, he attempts to argue that what it manifestly and inarguably does say.... isn't bad. Think about it. I respect the difficulty of the position that contemporary christians find themselves in. Rock and a hard place. On the one hand, asserting the contents makes them an asshole to their peers -christian and otherwise-. On the other, failure to assert the contents makes them unfaithful compared to their christian peers who will and do.
That's why, I think, theism circles the sewer by default. Theres a demonstrable pressure to have the most garbage take in the room - for god. Taking the high road is negatively valued and faith denying, whereas going full on gutter trash is religiously pious but practically deleterious.
You end your request to another poster by asking for something substantive - as if it would matter. You're aware of the substance, and committed to denying it, and even your own awareness. He could bring more substance, you will do more of the same. Shameful - and pointless.
Christianity as an ideology inherently and explicitly supports both slavery and misogny - but you don't. You disagree with your own silly religion on this - which I think is a good thing..but it's clearly optional and extrabiblical.

Post the quote.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
