My guess is that these people have never read their own damn holy book but are going by what someone else has told them. Slaves could be beaten as long as they waited until three days to die
I am at my phone so can't link to the corresponding verses but in Deuteronomy a man could marry his war captive as long as he gave her a month to mourn her family that he probably slaughtered in front of her. I notice a lot of bible apologists act as if that verse doesn't exist
Also, the people weren't just beaten by the bears, they were mauled. Beating someone up for calling you a name is stupid but killing them is even worse.
