Whats so offensive about Christianity

[Drich]

Lets see how this measure up:

One person might buy something from someone else doing dirty shit...maybe in ignorance..hell maybe not.

It's not ignorance, 'we' as a soceity (western soceity) depend on slavery for everything that we deem a 'Mod/Con.' Cars, appliances, building material, food, alll of it is based on the cheapest/lowest bidder. That is why manufacture of just about everything has moved to slaver nations. If everyone was paid an honest livable wage no one could afford those appliances, cars, electronics or even food. Modern life could not exist without slaves.

We all benfit from slavery. What is disgusting are those who pretend they don't have anything to do with it. Why? Because when they turn a blind eye it allows far few regulations and expectations of corperate slave owners allowing them to step closer to the 17th century picture of slavery you all are turning your noses up at. On the other hand if you d-bags gave a squirt about the people who make your lives possable we could hold big coperations accountable to providing fair/biblical conditions to modern day slavery.

The other person shouts hossannah and drops to his knees at the sight of the same.

Hmn..........yeah, I can still tell which of the two is the bigger douche.

What are you talking about? Who is shouting? can you provide an example?

[Minimalist]

Of course, you have to allow for the fact that Drippy is a fucking asshole. He'd have to be to fall for that story.

[vorlon13]

what contradictions?

Women shouldn't speak in church - women preachers
Homosexuality is a sin - so is pork/Christian has bacon for breakfast
meek will inherit the earth - proselytise!
slavery is ok - slavery is not ok
etc - etc

I'm at work atm, this is off the top of my head.

Not even checking to see if they are allowing a menstruating woman in church on Sunday !!

Not handling serpents and drinking poison so that they will be known as believers !!

Eating figs !!

Cheapest/lowest bidder =/= "slavery" - but otherwise you absolutely have a point. Many things which we use, depend on, or purchase are products of exploitative interactions. Some things we can opt out of, some things we cant. Some things we know about (some we don't). Some things...a few here and there, aren't part or privy to this at all. (I buy alot of shit custom, at ludicrous price- but I have an uncommon profession). "Modern life" could, can, and does exist without slaves. Nothing has "slave labor" as an non-negotiable input. We can't control the actions of others, oceans away (hell, even next door). The best we can do is deal with those situations as they arise...and yes.. we may have already bought their product before they come to our attention. We're human, it happens.

Meanwhile...

Hosannah, hallelujah, insha allah and shit...huh.

You now the rule minnie I only read every 5th post of yours, but if you want you can answer the question that all the self righteous on this thread have failed to answer so far.

Yet you still support it with your money... So how is that 'ok' in your mind?

Slavery is not okay because god or the bible said so okay.

So again are you so foolish as to think you do not directly benfit from modern day slavery right now? That your actions not only enslave people but keep them as slaves?

What's worse because you are so foolish to live as you are not enslaving people those who do on your behalf can do so with out regulation.

God said this was the sin. (To keep a slave without regulation)

God provided regulation as He knew life without slaves for large soceities would not be possible.

book chapter and verse please. I ask that because context is your undoing there.

[FatAndFaithless]

Drich, this is some unbelievable bullshit even for you. I don't think I've ever personally encountered a Christian mentally poisoned enough to say genuinely "Having slaves is okay."

[The Grand Nudger]

God provided regulation as He knew life without slaves for large soceities would not be possible.

As usual....."god" was clearly a fucking moron then, Drich.

Course, it could just be you. Do you have a permit for that mouth?

[KevinM1]

Being physically disabled myself, I find Leviticus 21:17-23 pretty reprehensible on a personal level.

[Spooky]

Are you so disillusioned that it is your selfrighteous belief that you do not currently benfit from slavery? (What's worse unbiblical slavery.)

My great grandparents came over here dirt poor on the Irish potato boats. Nobody in my family has owned another human being or benefited from slavery.

I believe with your one statement on the subject you have singlehandedly answered the thread.

[abaris]

First of all, clean up that steaming turd you just left on the floor.

Second, what admirable regualtions god provided:

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
