So again I will say, the reason God does not outlaw slavery is because the definition of that word has changed. Not over thousands of years but to western society in one or two generations.
The definition of slavery has not changed. What has changed is the widespread conclusion that the practice is immoral. Guess your god didn't see that one coming. It also destroys the idea of the existence of immutable objective morals.
are slave or rather is your idea of a slave paid? Can a slave retire and buy/own land from money he has earned as his time as a slave? can your idea of a slave work for someone for say 20 years for a parcial of land? Can a slave goto medical school for a term of service as a slave to become a doctor, and once that term is up be freed to work however they see fit?
No, you say? well I guess the definition of the word slave has changed, because these things happened.
