Please define slavery.
Work for nothing more than is needed to keep you alive.
Pretty much what the greedy Western money worshippers force upon slum dwellers in India and Bangladesh and China. Work or die.
Same as in ancient times when rich powerful countries dominated the weak.
Sounds just like Darwinian natural selection.
Perhaps we should be asking atheists to explain slavery to US instead of the other way around.
The biblical context of slavery is "harm minimisation" of an EXISTING practical reality - not an endorsement of it.
To say that the bible supports slavery is like saying that government funded safe injecting rooms for heroin users amounts to...encouraging ppl to use heroin.
