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.

I'm really confused. Are you asserting that the Bible doesn't actually condone slavery and that the original Hebrew text of the Bible actually calls these people "indentured servants" rather than "slaves?" Are you making the claim that the Hebrew did not endorse the beating of slaves and that the Biblical text is a lie and furthermore, that anyone who bashes Biblical slavery is an idiot who doesn't realize that "slavery wasn't really all that bad" ????

I'm just as quick to call bull shit on someone as the next but from what I can tell, this videographer, Dusty, was reading the Bible word for word and pointing out that it seems odd that black people would worship jesus. Your argument appears to be that of an apologist's, claiming context and translation arguments rather than reading the book that everyone actually lives by.

I can't find any fault with what this video is saying. He's not lying or bending the truth about what is written in the good old King James Version is he?
He's not making claims that he can't back up correct?
As far as I can tell, his history about slavery in America seems accurate?

I guess I'm just still confused about the argument you're trying to make.
You claim that this Dusty character is an "idiot." I guess I just don't see why?
