I'm sure he was being sarcastic. His religious views call the guy a tyrant.

You all are so concerned over a Bible verse that pertained to a people being punished by God by allowing them to go into slavery.
Why are you not concerned about the slavery in today's world, why are you not doing anything to help and prevent the slave trade going on under your nose. There are more slaves today than at any other time in history, why do you ignore these people, is it because it's out of your sight so out of mind. Christian groups are raising money to bring awareness to this terrible crime, and you would have this money taxed so less would be available to do this good work, they are working throughout the world to help end this atrocity. Christian networks are growing every year to abolish the modern day slave trade, it's in your backyard so what have you done.

Slave trade?? R u serious. ..
How could you not know, a world that has such a slave trade going on and you really don't know, seriously.

I know it does... gc doesnt get that god is an idiot
The real idiot here is you, God is good. You think because God punished the nations that resided in the land of Canaan by enslaving them you think God condones slavery. There is a large difference between punishment through justice and condoning slavery. You probably don't know how the slavry in Europe got started do you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Oh shit, you thought I was a rape-slave trading, genocide-loving Christian?
THAT'S ADORABLE
TELL GC HE CAN UNBLOCK ME NOW
WE'RE BROTHERS : )
oh my god, even being sarcastic about that is depressing

We've got two Chads. One of them is a wooters. The other one's okay.
So is GC, for someone who rails against slavery out of one side of his mouth while jawing about the moral superiority of his atrocity-filled instruction manual out of the other.
Being ignored by him is something to shoot for, it means that you've repeatedly made a bitch out of him in verbal exchanges.

Sure it was, my parents who are Christians taught me that mistreating others because of the color of their skin is absolutely wrong.
...........and where in the Bible does it say it is wrong to own another human being as property?

Yes, telling people where to get slaves and how to treat them is condoning slavery. If you want to punish someone, don't use a method that you don't approve of. It sends mixed messages. Especially if some of those slaves are actually just indentured servants that you convinced to become permanent by giving them wives. It doesn't get much more clear than this. He even allows vicious beatings, as long as the slave doesn't die within a day or two.
