How can a book that tells you how to treat slaves possibly be valid moral guide

plus morality is not the standard you believe it to be:

To quote Stewart Lee, Political correctness is basically institutionalised politeness. If you think that opposing slavery is somehow 'politically correct' rather than 'totally fucking abhorrent' then you're a bigger knuckle dragger than I originally thought. Is not indulging in gang-rape political correctness gone mad? How about not ethnically cleansing a country, is that PC hippie bullshit? What about not setting fire to children, is that for lefty whimps only?

Seriously mate, slavery in the form that it is described in the bible (i.e absolute slavery that was very common at the time) is completely disgusting.

Squirm implies a degree of discomfort. Drich may correct me here but I suspect he's suffered not one iota of doubt or difficulty. And people like me don't even believe the is inspired! Like feeding a hot chilli to someone to watch them suffer then discovering they don't mind mind hot chilli. All that's left is a feeling of "wow, I couldn't rationalise like that".

As someone who still wants to describe themselves as even just a little bit christian, you might be mistaken for not being completely human if you didn't even feel a tiny bit of 'discomfort' from knowing that your number one poster boy not only advocates the ownership of other humans and their exploitation, but even offers guidelines on how hard to beat the bastards. I do like you, you're a refreshing face around here in a sea of orthodox lunatics, but regardless of the OP's lazy trolling intentions, you've gotta admit that slavery is pretty awful shit, right?
