You all are so concerned over a Bible verse that pertained to a people being punished by God by allowing them to go into slavery.
Why are you not concerned about the slavery in today's world, why are you not doing anything to help and prevent the slave trade going on under your nose. There are more slaves today than at any other time in history, why do you ignore these people, is it because it's out of your sight so out of mind. Christian groups are raising money to bring awareness to this terrible crime, and you would have this money taxed so less would be available to do this good work, they are working throughout the world to help end this atrocity. Christian networks are growing every year to abolish the modern day slave trade, it's in your backyard so what have you done.

I know it does... gc doesnt get that god is an idiot
The real idiot here is you, God is good. You think because God punished the nations that resided in the land of Canaan by enslaving them you think God condones slavery. There is a large difference between punishment through justice and condoning slavery. You probably don't know how the slavry in Europe got started do you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
