When I saw the question I thought it was the dumbest I had ever seen. Who on earth would choose the slavery option? Who would take more than a third of a second to come up with the answer?
Just shows what I know. Not only did we have Christians stuggling to answer the question we actually had at least one that chose the slavery legalisation option.
Religion and morality are ships that pass in the night. They have very little in common - although one claims ownership of the other in the ultimate act of hypocrisy.
That really says a lot right there. Of course that's the way it was meant to be in bible times, but many of us like to think most people in first world countries would not choose legalized slavery over legalized homosexuality. Of course these are the same people that think this life is a stopgap on the road to eternity.
