Don't dodge the question. The Bible endorses slavery. Do you think this is moral, or is the Bible immoral on this topic.

Slavery at during Biblical times was different, it was okay. Slavery today is wrong and I am against it

I have no idea where you're getting this idea of "biblical slavery was different". Sure, it didn't involve african americans and most likely didn't involve cotton, but slavery is the owning of another human being as property, which the bible endorses.

Good to know you endorse slavery though.

Smh. No slavery is not okay, never was and never will be. Anyone who disagrees can PM me for instructions on what you will be commanded to do next.

Well that pretty well settles the Urethro Dilemma which Ratsetsu brought up recently. Clearly what is moral is whatever to hell god says it is but only for so long as He says. Next year xtians may be required to join us in eating the brains of infants. It's cool if God permits it, and righteous if He requires it.

No Resurrection=LOVE
Resurrection=nothing

If Jesus was God then he was the same God that used incest to populate the world, drowned millions of innocent babies and children in the flood. The same vain and cruel God that has caused so much death and prejudice.

I believe Jesus died to STOP religion not to start a new one!

The bible does say God hates Religion.

Amos 5:16-23

23. Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.

I don't believe God has ever spoken to anyone. Some men believed God was cruel and other men believed God was love. This is why the bible is so contradictory.

Belief is not knowledge! Beliefs are a reflection of the believer!

To believe in nothing; that's a negative.

I'm not sure who Jesus was, and I don't think his name was Jesus at all, and I don't think that the New Testament would have accurately described his teachings having been manipulated by other people to achieve their own means.

Regardless if he did exist, or a man similar to him during that time, he was most definitely a man.

Lol, that's your main problem with it? You have got to be kidding me. Some scary lack of basic values on display here.
