Dritch.

That's some pretty impressive tap dancing there.

Too bad you really didn't respond to the actual immorality of: owning another human being as property, being able to beat them (as long as they don't die for a couple of days), sell your daughter into slavery, passing your slaves to your children as inheritance...

Of course, it's because deep down, you know condoning slavery is immoral. You have just sacrificed your humanity in deference to your 'god'. You are forced to defend whatever it says in that book.

We get it.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
