(July 14, 2011 at 11:51 pm)Shell B Wrote: In fact, history tells us that slavery has always been as we view it now, forcing a person to work for you.

Forcing a person to work with you, have sex with you, give birth to your children who are either also forced to work and/or sold to someone else as a slave, forced to fight for you, are physically maimed by you or at your behest... in short, the person has NO rights whatsoever.

The Bible says that you can't beat them so hard they die right away, but if you beat them such that they linger around in agony for a few days before they die, it's okay. There are several instances of women giving their maidservant (woman slave) to their husband who then "came in unto" her followed by a "begat". This is rape... she could not say "no".
