What an idiotic argument.

What statement is "idiotic?" The one made by Mortis or the one made in the videos? Clarification can be your friend too.

Seriously, why do all these ignoramus atheists exist on the internet?

Again, clarification. Who are you talking about?

I never see them in the real world, where they can be embarrassed by anyone with a half-decent knowledge of indentured servanthood practiced in the ancient near-east and slavery in the United States.

I watched both videos and I really don't see what this remark has to do with anything. It seems clear to me that the videos are geared towards pointing out the absurdity of black people becoming christians.

Can you clarify all your positions here. This entire post is a tad confusing.

The one made in the video.

Atheists like this guy, "The Amazing Atheist", like half the atheists making youtube videos just seem so profoundly ignorant about the subject they are discussing you simply cannot take them seriously as intelligent people.

The fact is, Judaism is a rich religious tradition with both lots of cultural and theological features, as well as historical data that help us understand the Old Testament and views on slavery at the time.

First of all, any serious student of slavery in the Bible would go back to the Hebrew text not the English translation in determining precisely what it was.

If you've taken the time to study history at all, you find indentured servanthood very common in cultures prior to a certain era. Our stereotypes make us believe that the "old days" was like ancient Athens or Rome- wealthy, powerful, cultured and cosmopolitan. But it wasn't, and a lot of people chose indentured servanthood willingly (though many didn't).

The features of this cultural practice are so drastically different from American slavery that any comparison is laughably ignorant. Historians don't make these arguments. Anthropologists don't. Textual critics and serious academics don't.

Only youtube atheists do. Honestly it's kind of depressing.
