Slavery (on Thursdays)

[Ben Davis]

The question Is "have you done those things" because if you have, then you broke the Law for which the penalty is death. If you are saying you'd rather pay the penalty yourself, then reject the pardon, if you want to live then accept it.

If I was on death row and the president pardoned me, I'd be a fool not to accept it.

But it's clearly not a pardon. Instead, an innocent person would be punished instead of me. That's just wrong.

When I say "gossip" I'm talking specifically about spreading false rumors about someone, you don't have to be the one that started it you just have to participate, that is considered the same as murder. All it takes is a few "rumors" to destroy a persons influence. After all "the pen is mightier than the sword"

So you would kill someone for gossiping. 'Spreading false rumours' clearly has different consequences than murdering someone. Do you not see how it's wrong to have the same punishment?

maybe you missed the part where it states that in ancient Hebrew, the word for servant and slave are same.

The 'word' for it is irrelevant. It's still the ownership of a person as property. What don't you understand about the immorality of this position?

So whats your stance on interns?

That they're not slaves therefore irrelevant to this discussion.
