Lol. Okay. Is this why christians reject the ten commandments?

Yeah. Your jesus condoned slavery.

Like what exactly? Your jesus didn't care about people owning slaves, so I'm curious about what 'bad things' the old testament advocates that would get people sent to hell.

Is this why he never said anything against slavery?

Maybe you can explain to me why an all-powerfull being 'would need to die' to give us a law. Thank you.

I chose to die yesterday as well. This morning I woke up feeling quite refreshed.
