Clearly Hebrew men made the laws to serve their own self interests, which explains the extremely racist and completely insensitive perspective of the old testament position on the matter.
There is no other reasonable explanation.
What the fuck then? You just nullified your diatribe against god there...
Not really. Those that believe are bound to this slavery condoning god, but it's our position that he's fictional anyway. Nothing's nullified; the book was written by ancient people who wanted things their way, but the morality of the god character, though fictional is still questionable enough that it makes one's head tilt to realize people worship it.
