"2. The institution of slavery was so deeply rooted in ancient culture that it could not be dismantled overnight..."

I've never really understood this argument, it basically says that god has to.do what people tell him, that his plan won't work if he doesn't pay the human's game and agree to slavery. Which puts god in the awful position of being held to random by mortals because he can't do what he wants, which is apparently to end slavery, in which case, why call him god or worship him?
