I'm pro-slavery since it is in the Bible. But as an intellectually honest atheist if you are against slavery then you also should be against conscription.

I think he just doesn't understand what slavery is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery
Quote:In a broader sense, however, the word slavery may also refer to any situation in which an individual is de facto forced to work against their own will. Scholars also use the more generic terms such as unfree labour or forced labour to refer to such situations.[2] However, and especially under slavery in broader senses of the word, slaves may have some rights and protections according to laws or customs.Explain what I don't understand here. Definition seems pretty straightforward to me
