Slavery (on Thursdays)

[Huggy Bear]

Okay, I'm pretty much done here. Honestly, I've had it up to my fucking eyelids with this sophist asshattery that you seem intent on pulling, Huggy. I'm tired of arguments that boil down to nothing more than "the bible doesn't say the word slavery, therefore it wasn't!" Especially when reading the fucking passages would tell you some details that I'm sure were uncomfortable to you, which is probably why you ignore them.

Oh, and that's another thing; I'm tired of my overarching argument being ignored in favor of picking apart language or the minutia of some piffling apocryphal law, as if any of that excuses the fact that they were selling people like fucking pogs.

You wanna know why I think the majority of slaves weren't willing and happy to do it? Simple logic, for one: you're asking me to believe that a person with any other employment options would put themselves into a job they can't leave for no pay, that simply doesn't jive with human beings.

And also? Jesus kinda described an escaping slave in a parable he told once; seems the messiah can figure out that slaves might not want to be there, even if you can't... oh, won't, most probably, because you can find a single example of the opposite.

Funny how slavery was genuinely an awful thing when it was Pharaoh doing it to the Jews- you never see these asshole apologists arguing that that was okay- but the moment god's chosen people were free, you fucking termites just crawl out of the woodwork to defend the indefensible because gawd.

Either provide a rebuttal to my post or don't.

Also you bring up a good point the very fact that the Hebrews had literally just come out of 400 years of slavery means they would be the ones most sympathetic to it, were talking basically serfdom here, either you were a rich land owner, tradesman, or a serf that worked the rich peoples land. That's how the world worked. There was no currency based system people dealt mostly in trades, in which labor is a tradable commodity. so how can you say what is moral when you have no idea what it took to survive back then.

You quite literally, didn't answer any of my questions

already covered all that stuff, not about to rehash it just for your benefit, go back and read. By the way the last one is Jesus giving a "parable" not a real situation.

I've explained my position many times in this thread.

That's funny...

So yes or no? Do you deny slavery exists and is condoned by YWH in the Bible? Really; it's a pretty simple question.
