No, you just chicken out of them altogether.

Slaves, obey your Masters.
Sounds like an endorsement to me.
Lion IRC Wrote:You are also conflating the bible which writes about slavery, with the actual cause of slavery - greed/economics.
And the bible has a LOT to say about greed and the love of money.
It also has a lot to say about slavery and how to beat your slave to near death, righteously.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
