"You grovel weekly to your deity..begging this that and the other thing (prayer)...this constitutes the behaviour of a slave (you MUST humble yourself before your deity)..... some one who is free and in charge of their own life would not do this or behave this way."
alright, prayer is not a form of groveling. it is a way to communicate with God and establish a personal relationship with God. the goal of all christians should be (but often isn't) to be able to way they are a friend of God. that would be a big deal and something i hope to achieve someday. the relationship humans have with God is more like a father son relationship than a master servant relationship. God is tolarent and so is a father, but a master is not.
"Didn't you realized that your shitty Bible scriptures condones slavery, sex slavery, rape and misogyny?"
no, there is no place in the bible where it condones slavery. in fact God saves his people from slavery and if he condoned it he would not feel the need to do this. though there is no specific commandment that says slavory is not allowed b/c it is ultimately a business of the government and the bible is for individuals not governments and the bible stays out of government affairs. sex slavery? perhaps you refer to abstanence? well you may be limited to sex with your wife but i don't see how this is slavery, both take vows and agree to this. in fact, most couples agree that it would be romantic to be the one and only sex partner of their significant other. rape? the bible most definately does not condone rape and that is actually punishable by death in the old testiment. misogyny? well the bible doesn't say a lot about women and all traditions of women not having rights of men are those not put down by the bible but the people themselves. if you think you know the bible more then me prove it by pointing out scribture to prove me wrong.
