Christianity's Valuable Contributions to Humanity: An Examination of Militant Atheism

[The Architect Of Fate]

And another non sequitur.

The servitude in Biblical times was more comparable to serfdom, as I mentioned, not chattel slavery properly so called. You obviously did not read the history or sources that I mentioned.

Btw, even apart from that, have you read the Bible enough to know St. Paul commanded Philemon to let his escaped servant/slave go free? Not to mention that God, having delivered His people from slavery in Egypt, already shows by that that slavery is something bad? It was tolerated only in times of war etc were abolition was impossible.

"Philemon 1:

12I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 14But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary. 15Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

17So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask."

In other words, St. Paul the Apostle tells Philemon to release the servant and grant him his freedom, and charge to himself (Paul) any debt the servant might owe.

The fact slavery was tolerated at all is damning and indentured servitude was no less evil
