God does not teach slavery, especially in the way you're thinking. God actually punished those who practiced the slavery you think of, yes it's right there in scripture, why do you neglect to mention that.

Um, because you're lying? That's why I neglected to mention it. Here, try a little Exodus:

“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ 6 then his master must take him before the judges.[a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

So here we have instructions for owning another human being, and a method by which god's chosen people can trick their slaves into staying in their position by giving them a wife and child. Interesting, where's that punishment you spoke of?

Here's how non Hebrew slaves were to be treated, from Leviticus:

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Gotta love that racist slavery, that your god apparently doesn't endorse, despite having clear rules for how to do it right there in his holy book!

I taught the young people to determine what their beliefs were and how to strengthen them so they would not become apostate.

Chronicles and Deuteronomy at least tell you to kill apostates. Did you teach them to do that?

I taught against all other religions, yet not to run people down for their beliefs, they were to young to begin teaching them the particulars of other religions, I left that to their parents.

But your biblical source goes straight to murder, GC. Are you working against the words of god?!

I taught against the gay life style and taught the dangers of that life style and any life style that would go against God and their Christian beliefs.

Leviticus, one of the few times homosexuality is even mentioned, says to murder them. Did you teach your kids that? Or did you soften the blow, talk about how "dangerous" it is? Why aren't you following the bible, GC?

I taught them to study scripture, to bring to light questions they might have about the scriptures, to ask for help in understanding scripture, and to come to their own decisions according to their understanding of scripture.

If you'd actually studied the scripture yourself, you'd be outfitting those kids with combat training, not bible verses. They have a lot of murder to do.

Oh, and by the way, you don't have to answer any of those questions I asked up there. I already know the answers: you've got a bunch of blithering apologetics, spoken out of the side of your mouth, to give yourself an excuse for putting the laws of men (who'd put your ass in jail for really living biblically) when it suits you. I don't need to hear it.
