Easy arguments against the Bible, and religion as a whole

[chi pan]

So sometime in history, slaves weren't actually human cattle and we're treated with respect and compassion? Are you high? The very act of owning another human being is immoral. Your god killed Job's wife, sons, and slaves along with his livestock, so we know where yahweh stands on the issue.

no i'm not saying that. there has always been mistreatment in slavery. none worse than the African American slavery. but the bible provided laws to treat them as human, not as dirty things that they beat for no reason. and yes, God did those things to Job (except for killing his wife), but he also redeemed him

Job regained his health. He had seven more sons and three daughters, gained back twice as much cattle as he had before, and lived another one hundred and forty years in honor, quietly, piously and happily.

i'm sure he got other blessings in heaven for his faithfulness as well. the thing is God will always test us, but he never gives us more than we can handle. apparently Job could handle a lot. if you're interested in the story here's a link

i'm not going to debate this slavery topic anymore as it is clear that it is not going anywhere. i've said everything i've wanted to say. the bible does not condone slavery nor the mistreatment of slaves. it acknowleges it's existance and sets laws for it but it does not say "you may own slaves for it is good." if you disagree fine but i'm not discussing this any further.
