Why would any woman want to be Christian?

[jstrodel]

Also in your worthless little hypothetical scenario, if there was some situation where it was die of hunger or be a slave, I'd rather die of hunger, because at least it would be on my own terms, as it ought to be. What the fuck would the point of living be if it was just to work hard labor for some bread?

Very convincing. You have proved that slavery is, absolutely, in all cases, the worst possible option. So anyone who disagrees with you and would rather live and be a slave then die of hunger is obviously TOO STUPID to realize that there is some sort of moral imperative to see life exactly the way you do
So much for those Christians who see things "WAY TOO MUCH IN BLACK AND WHITE".

I absolutely trust you, with your Penn Gillete level logic to assess the very difficult question historically if outlawing slavery would have actually improved living conditions for a world often plagued with famine and war where the threat of insurgent warfare would necessitate some sort of serious response to what to do with conquered people. I can trust that the answer you give, in all caps, would assess the myriad of complex economic and political issues that surround the issue of slavery. It would be based the sound principle of USING REASON YOU DUMB FUCK.
