Quote:
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?

1. Regarding the op's intentions I have no clue what they are. It's not trolling (or if it is he's suit at it). That's why I asked.
2. What is it to you whether I feel discomfort or not? You can mistake me for slightly Christian, slightly less than human, slightly grumpy or a slight necrophiliac. What I am and how I believe is none of your business until I try to ram my faith dick down your throat.
3.slavery pretty awful shit? Compared to what exactly. Genocide? Famine? Anarchy? Against what moral yardstick. A society which has lost its way as badly as ours?

We live in a world where we drone bomb civilians be the thousand and call it war. Where tens of thousands die of starvation while we die from over consumption. Where we spend £30 on a kids cuddly toy which would feed a family in the third world for a month. Where warlords carry out genocides which would warm the cockles of the OT Yahweh's heart, and we ignore it. Where teenagers commit suicide because people say unkind things to them. Yeah, slavery is not a nice idea but considering how fucked and immoral our society is I'm afraid I can't get that worked up about it. So no, I don't particularly have a problem with the Bible not matching up to modern morality because modern morality ain't that special. It just seems that way to us because we're so inordinately proud of the horror we've created. It's like a paedophile taking a morally high stance over wife beating. Neither are moral. Both are funked.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
