Not one of you had nutted up and addressed the articals I left on modern day slavery and how the European markets are getting fat off the backs of sugar cane plantation slaves just like they did a few hundred years back! What the self righteous rarly see or understand is inorder to justify their own righteousness they must ignore evidence and history.. And those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it!
Why is it out of the 10 responses given since my last post not ONE has addressed the artical I left? Rather your efforts seem to center around the destruction of the messenger rather than the message. This may work in the broken intellects of philosophers who's primary focus is to debate faith, but here you have evidence and can not/have not even tried to dispute it to maintain your position. Rather you hold fast to your sickening self righteousness as if it were some prize to covet, and lash out at everything that challenges what it comfortable to you..
You fancy yourselves thinkers? You pretend to demand and act on evidence. You have been given oppertunity for both and done neither. Rather you vilify the messenger because pop morality demands it. Otherwise you would have to see yourselves for who you really are rather than who it is you pretend to be.
I wish you all long consumer based lives filled with many Black Friday door buster deals and all the organic out of season produce you can juice in 100 year span.
So my understanding of your argument is that references to slavery in the Bible are intended to regulate the practice to prevent exploitation? (Sorry, I don't have the energy to read the links - at least right now.)
I wonder if the actual verses in the Bible support that position?
