What IS good, and how do we determine it?

Didn't he already post it and tell you exactly where it was?

Here, I'll give it to you.

Exodus 21

20- Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21- but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

Look, I asked a very simple question.

Esquilax made the statement that there is a passage that states a slave "can be beaten" .

And I still have the passage that says they can be beaten, you unbelievable moron.

*emphasis mine*
The scripture you posted does not state that slaves "can be beaten" only what happens if they are beaten...

Try again.

I already know what Huggy's going to do.  He's going to find a translation that uses a different word: "servant," maybe, or "bondmen," and insist that these aren't slaves-- cuz, you know, a purchased "servant" who has to work for free is totally not a slave.  Am I wrong, Huggy?

Seems you we're wrong.

Huggy you fucking idiot.......

 When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.  If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.  (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

Clearly this part states jesus is okay with owning and beating the fucking shit out of slaves

 The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it.  "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly.  Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given."  (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)


As far as i'm concerned abrahamic religions such as this shouldn't even exist.
