God regulating things like slavery does not make it moral. The only inference you are justified in making it that it was necessary to regulate it.Wrong. Or do you really believe that the only thing stopping you from becoming a murdering rapist is god and the bible? That you would totally go on a rampaging killing spree except for god?

Or how about Deu 2:33-35
Quote:2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.Want to pretend that is not genocide? Men, women and children?
2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

God regulating things like slavery does not make it moral.Then god should have made a commandment to forbid it. Or was god unable to do so and had to settle with such bovine commands that it is perfectly acceptable to beat your slave almost to death so long as the slave survives for two days post beating. If the slave dies on the third day then fukkit. A loving god, right?

Why are you so very, very afraid of words? What scares you so?
