Quote:As for some of us who read and study scripture we do our best to represent what God teaches us through His word. As for people like you who have no understanding of God or His word I guess you'll keep on making up stories to please yourselves instead of looking for truth.
Upon what basis do you state that your understanding is correct and ours is not? We're not the ones forced into hilarious (and often conflicting) apologetic gymnastics in these discussions.
Fact is, your God came up with a huge list of forbidden activities. Not only were slavery, torture, and rape not among those activities, but all of those activities are positively encouraged by God, directly. Not even Gentle Jesus speaks out against any of these activities at any time, and proactively condones slavery on his own. You can't judge him because, either you're a pussy, or slavery, torture and rape are acceptable according to your Biblically-inspired moral code.
