Does the Bible promote slavery?

RE: Does the Bible promote slavery?
I was joking. Duh.

And my lack of belief has nothing to do with the bibles. I don't believe in any gods at all... yours isn't a special case.

Look in the dictionary.

Hey thanks. slave/slāv/
Noun:
A person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.

We know that the servants or slaves of the OT were owned as legal property, but we do not know if they were forced to obey.

So it doesn't seem like we have enough info to call it slavery. And we have some info that suggests otherwise such as that found in Deuteronomy 23:15-16 for example.

Oh fuck off with this bullshit.

How can you be owned as fucking legal property and not be demanded to obey.

This is ridiculous, you've had enough from me. Disingenuous cunt.

If you can actually convince someone that being owned is not a form of slavery, let alone that the slaves in the OT weren't slaves at all... it does not also convince them that your god exists. Don't be daft.

In a society where there is sex slavery commonplace, one may want to save a poor soul from being in this trade. One way to do that is to buy them out and protect them from being abused.

That is correct, but I'm not arguing for the existence of God. But if I do and if convinced that slavery is not in the OT, then one wouldn't have to worry about the idea of a God who encourages slavery.

Hey dipshit, that doesn't make them legal property.

Technically, when you buy something, it is yours, and it being yours is protected by law.

Ah... so you want to try to prove that your god is real. And you're starting by trying to lessen doubts/concerns about the bibles? Hahahah!

Welcome to my ignore list you disingenuous loser.

No actually, don't know where you fucking live but it's not protected by law over here to purchase prostitutes.

Sick fucker.

If you own a person, and let them do whatever they please, then you don't really own them.

Sounds to me like someone is desperate to find morality in the alleged word of god. You just interpret it however makes you feel better, sweetheart. That's what all fearful, irrational, drones do.

In the meantime, since you've discovered google, look up "cognitive dissonance".
