Why does science always upstage God?

[Abaddon_ire]

Oh god, another slavery revisionist.  Here to harangue us about our morals.

Why is it always the same constellation of shit with you people?  God do a lil typo when he was scribbling on your hearts?

Exodus 21:16  “Now one who kidnaps someone, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall certainly be put to death.

So there is a clear distinction here that kidnapping and selling/buying people is a capital offense.

Wrong.

Leviticus 25:44

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

Read your magic book.

So now, as we read the rest of what Moses wrote about owning slaves in the later books, this would be the assumed context under which buying/selling slaves was immoral.

Nope. God commands the buying and selling of slaves. It's right there.

But there are other contexts, like selling yourself into slavery to pay a debt.

Called it. "indentured servitude" turned up. "indentured servitude" is immoral as well as slavery.
