The question that makes fundies hostile

[Fruity]

Claiming ownership of another human being and using them for your own wants is not intrinsically bad? How is it good? Or is it not intrinsically good or bad? It's neutral?

It's neutral. Do you have kids? Have you ever used the term "my kids?" Anyone using that term has expressed ownership of another human being. Even so do we consider this to be an evil thing?

Of course not, what makes ownership of another person good or bad is what you do with the life you have control over.

My kids, my mom, my dad, my sister, my brother... none of which I own. One day my kids will make a choice of staying or leaving. They won't have to pay their way to freedom. Furthermore, I don't use them. They live here, because I gave birth to them and I have love for them plus responsibility. When I get my paycheck, most of it goes towards things they need and I find myself skipping things I want, so they get what they want. I cook, I clean, wash their clothes, teach them, talk to them, play with them, and love them more than I would ever love myself hoping that when it's time for them to leave they miss me enough to want to come and visit.

Would a slave be treated this way? Would a slave get a college fund and a wish list for his birthday? If a slave got anything like this, well, I suppose he's not much of a slave, but family, or even employee if working for you and getting something fair in return. You and I both know that a slave is not like a son or daughter, so your comparison is invalid.
