This is a cogent argument, there are no lies here. It is very true that Christians choose to follow the nice parts of the bible but ignore bad things such as slavery: who you can own, how you should treat them, how much you can buy and sell them for. The bible tells you these things yet you don't see Christians with slaves, this means that they have ignored this.It's crappy research and/or reasoning. While the Bible regulates slavery, it does not mandate slavery, and it tells Christians to obey the secular authorities. So, the fact that you don't see Christians with slaves in no way means Christians are ignoring the Bible.
Oh so, if it wasn't against the law, you would own slaves would you?
