Whats so offensive about Christianity

[Thumpalumpacus]

The problem with your arguement? You have failed to establish a fallacy of equivocation, because the defination of slavery not only includes what I have identified it encompasses your defination as well.

You're making my argument for me. You're substituting one connotation for the other.

Truth be known to seperate your version of slavery from the dictionary defination which includes people who work for less than a livable wage is infact the very fallacy of equivocation your trying to transfer to me.

Your objection is meaningless, because I am only referring to slavery as human chatteldom. I cannot be equivocating if I am only using one connotation. I'd suggest you look up fallacies before you try noting them in the posts of others. (As an aside, such a study would do wonders for improving your dreadful critical-thinking skills -- or lack thereof, more properly). I recommend The Nizkor Project, myself, or Rational Wiki.

At any rate, we are speaking specifically about Biblical slavery, in which human chatteldom is the connotative meaning. Servants are not slaves, in that context. You are the one who keeps introducing the connotation of modern labor exploitation to justify your god's approval of human chatteldom. That is textbook equivocation.

I can't say I blame you; I'd hate to have to defend the position that owning another human being is morally right, too. But simply because you've staked out a morally untenable position, that doesn't mean you can abuse the language to justify it.

This thread is evidence that you worship a cruel and unjust god. It's a shame more Christians cannot see your argumentation; you are a great advertisement for the moral superiority of ethical atheism.
