Quote:Firstly, learn to write. Secondly, read what I wrote instead of jumping in like a bell end to tell me what you mistakenly think I meant. Seriously, it makes this sort of conversation much smoother if it's a dialogue between two people instead of between you and the voices in your head. I know there were some long words and challenging concepts in there but at least TRY to grasp them.
Ok I think I got what ur saying.. (not really)... so back then when people were allowed to beat slaves and as long as they dont die within a day or two it was ok by ur gods rules?? How could u think thats moral?? Ur god did make the rule??
I didn't say slavery was moral, I said it was no more immoral than many of the things we accept quite happily as moral today (or if not moral then at least acceptable). As such I find the somewhat petulant op profoundly unmoving because it's actually just deploring the immorality then in context of the different but equally unpleasant immorality we have today.

Actually, some Christians are open-minded enough that when they come across these arguments, they seriously consider their implications..and sometimes it leads them to leave the chain and ball of faith behind. I should know. I was one of them.
How many of these threads do you reckon that needs?
