Why the Bible Doesn't Condemn Slavery

[robvalue]

This has already been rightfully ripped to shreds, but let me add:

How do apologists know exactly what God could and couldn't do, what his motivations were and so on? How do they know what God was thinking and what his plans were? If it's not explicitly written in the bible, they are pulling it right out their arse. Rather presumptuous to speak for God, when he refuses to clarify his own harmful words himself.

Not that the bible is a credible source for anything. The sheer gymnastics performed here to try and get the bible to say the opposite of what it actually says is astonishing. Try reading the book again, without the assumption that any of it is automatically true. And without the assumption that God is "good", the only reason to think this at all is that he has to tell us he is every fucking page. Please listen to your own conscience, which is screaming at you that almost everything God does and demands in the bible is actually evil.
