That's only for Hebrew slaves. Hebrew slaves were treated better than foreign slaves.
Hebrew slaves were only to be kept for 7 years, then set free, UNLESS you found them a wife. If they decided they wanted to stay with the wife, then you were to pierce their ear with awl., and they would become your permanent property.
With slaves from foreign lands, all bets were off.
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.
