What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[abaris]

Once again, you guys apply your modern day ideals to ancient civilizations. It was common practice for people to sell themselves into slavery if they were impoverished or owed a debt they didn't have the means to pay... what solution would you offer? Especially in a society that was based on the bartering system, seeing how the Hebrews just came out of slavery under the Egyptians.

If a homeless person agreed to work for me in exchange of food and shelter, it's your position that it's immoral?

Read the bible quotes I provided for you. And then come back on how moral and justified and voluntary this is all supposed to be. Especially the part about having a wife and children, but having to leave one's family behind when being set free, since they are still considered the property of the slaver. But, yes, the slave himself can stay on voluntarily, with his family, for a lifetime of servitude.

Are you really that dense or are you playing the three monkey theme here?
