The slavery in the Bible is different than the slavery in our times. They are different and that is an absolute 10% fact. You want to pretend that there isn't a difference, fine, go ahead but your wrong!
How do you know they were different? Were you there, mortal? No, you were not. You were told that by your mortal teachers, who also were not there.
The people involved were different masters and different slaves, but in the most important respect they are identical: They were both slavery. It is never a good thing when one person forces another person into servitude. Supposedly a good god would have said "This is wrong. Stop it, now!" Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. The only punishment for slavery is if a slave is beaten so badly that he dies on the day of the beating. (It isn't a Bible crime if the slave dies later.)

Yes, it is indeed My opinion that your god is imaginary -- which is a good thing, in My opinion, because if if your god did exist it would be the most evil being in the universe.
Think about it, Godisgood: What purpose would hell serve, other than to give your imaginary fiend a hard-on at the thought of all those people crying for mercy or even for real death? That isn't justice. It is the antithesis of justice. Humans only live about a hundred years, and there's only so much "sin" a person can commit in such a short time. No matter how horrible the crime, an eternal punishment amounts to punishing someone an infinite number of times for something they only did once, twice, at most 3,153,600,000 times (assuming a very evil baby capable of one sin per second for 100 years).
No, there is no way in Niflheim that I would lower Myself to worship that sick-minded (and imaginary) rat-bastard, doling out injustice from its imaginary throne in a make-believe heaven.
And neither should you worship it. Here's something else to think about: What makes you think you would be safe in a heaven ruled by an insane torturer? Remember the book of Job? Your god made a bet with Satan, and allowed people to die to see if Job would crack under pressure. For all you really know about the eternal life that you've been promised, your god could easily get bored with your hosannas and hallelujahs and toss you ass-over-apple-cart into the flames just for shits and giggles, and you wouldn't be able to do a damned {pun intended} thing about it.
If such a place as hell actually existed, you would be no safer than I am. Fortunately, hell appears to be no more than a vicious-minded myth that religious leaders invented to scare people like you into their churches.
Time to put away your childish things and grow the fuck up.
