Lay that aside for a moment, because it's not really all that interesting that you're horridly wrong. What is interesting, is that you felt compelled to imagine something else, specifically, that buying or owning a slave was not slavery - that somehow- as long as you didn't put the the shackles on yourself, it was kosher, it was diferrent. That's your humanity rising up in spite of your christianity. Congratulations.
