Morals are not laws, so if you break a moral code usually doesn't mean that you'll face some particularly harsh punishment like prison or a fine, but just that you will let down some close people.
Nah I'm only talking about moral permissibility, not legal permissibility. I'm asking if when slavery is morally permitted is that interchangeable with it being morally permissible?
You are confusing. Some people see eating animals as moral, while others as immoral, and there is no objective way to prove who is right. On the other hand, while vegans see carnivores as immoral, there are no repercussions for their immoral behavior because it's not against the law.
Now, you could make a very good case on, for example, why not to eat meat, but it's only a case, not some sort of law of the universe.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
