Slavery (on Thursdays)

[là bạn điên]

I've started a new tradition of sorts. I call it "Thor's Day". Every Thursday I post s lot of atheism-related stuff on Facebook. I'm trying to stick to a theme each week, too. Last week was misogyny. I posted a few verses that said women had to submit, yada yada, you've all heard it before.

Of course, a lot of Christians tap danced the Hell out of it. And supposedly some stuff was mistranslated (a wonder that no "good" verses are ever mistranslated lol). So, to try to stay intellectually honest, I promised I'd do more research before next Thor's Day's topic.

This Thursday I want to do slavery. I'm wondering if, by chance, any of you (believer or heathen alike) are aware of any mistranslations or misinterpretations of the "slavery verses"? I plan to do some research on my own, but figure this is a good place to start.

Also, what are the typical Christian defenses of biblical slavery, and what's the best way to counter them?

If Ima be "that guy" on FB, I wanna have my facts straight and prepared for anything.

Thanks a million for any good replies.

slavery comes in many forms, physically or spiritually. For instance everyone issued a birth certificate is enslaved.



so what point is there to arguing about what the bible says about slavery when you are a slave(assuming you have a birth certificate)yourself.

This is some really fucked up rightwing nonsense that is related to the 'freeman on the land' bullshit.
