Quote: this verse you isolated is symbolic, it has a symbolic meaning. Symbolic? Of what? A psychotic god who wants children's head bashed in.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Let's deal with one issue at a time.You mean like when a young mother of 4 has to works but hates her 3 jobs to support herself and her kids that she will never get to see? Or do you mean like the woman who in ot times sold herself and family into slavery under a rich man who works 10 hours a day 6 days a week and exchange for her service she and her family needs are met with day to day needs and a small stipen for her extra good work? Quote:"Society being built on" something doesn't make the thing good or acceptable, and being anti-slavery as a member of a late-stage-capitalist society where ethical consumerism is impossible doesn't make me a hypocrite.Your half way there sport.. not only is it built it is currently maintained on the backs of modern day slaves. Meaning if you were to pul the slaves out of the system a great number of people could not afford to feed themselves. the 'system' would collapse back into calling a slave a slave. so to speak. Quote: Even if it did, you're still basically dodging the question. Is slavery immoral, or isn't it?The word and work of slaver in neither a good or bad thing. It all depends on who is using slavery, for what purpose and how they treat the people enslaved to them. We all are slaves to one degree or another if we go by your definition. so then all all forms bad? what happens when you endenture yourself to a bank for 30 years for a home? 5 more for the newest car? 10 more for an "education?" Or do you simply think one does want to give the prime of one's life and the lion's share of it's effort over to a bank? Is that evil? No more so than cutting out the middle man (Cash being the middle man) and calling a slave a slave. Cash is the illusion that makes you a slave feel free, when in fact most slaves to money work far harder than those who were called slaves in the OT Quote:It doesn't really matter that this passage is from Psalms. The bible has no shortage of language like this in other books.No it kinda does. It takes your argument that God is a blood thirsty monster who dashes babies against rocks, and re frames it to a slave "spiritual" singing about freedom and the opportunity to get back at their oppressors. What it shows to the intellectually honest is the level of dishonesty in those who tend to just skim the bible for negative words and attribute them to God. In other words people like you don't care what the bible really has to say. you form an opinion like: Quote:It doesn't really matter that this passage is from Psalms. The bible has no shortage of language like this in other books.and then you seek anything that half way supports what you already think.. Confirm you bias much? Your god is constantly smiting and commanding people to annihilate each other. He's basically a blood demon.

That's an awfully long winded way to say; "Slavery not bad, according to Drich and Drichgod". There's no -need- to comb through magic book to find shit when you politely offer it up. You seem certain that the problem lies with atheists, when..obviously, the problem is one of your own creations.
The problem being that people will not agree with you, or your god, when you both purportedly insist upon "good slavery", the moral neutrality of slavery as an institution, the righteousness of slavery as punishment for the misdeeds of the parents.......and...subsequently, you (and your gods) own moral bona fides. You are burning your own church to the ground, and you're doing it with considerable enthusiasm.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
