[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 72019413, member: 346237"] This thread IS about the "slavery in the bible". I'm not "picking" anything with some kind of hidden agenda. I'm just discussing the thread topic. If anything, it's you who seems to avoid the topic like the plague. I already told you that - this is about what the bible says, not about what christians say or how they behave - I am of the opinion that the average christian's, as well as my own, moral compass is vastly superior to the moral compass exhibited in such bible passages. So I'm not dealing with you or christians. I'm dealing with what the bible says about slavery. I already acknowledged that I realise that you, and most people like you, don't consider slavery a moral practice. And that's a good thing. [B]But the bible does. The bible has no issues with it. [/B] It is the bible's stance on this issue that is being discussed here. [B][/B] And if the premise is that the bible reflects God and that God is "incapable of being immoral"... and the bible has no issues with morality, then we have a contradiction problem that needs resolving. And yes, I like to tie it in also with the "moral argument" from christian apologists, who want to hold up the bible as "the moral standard". This is a problem, since the bible condones slavery (and genocide and...) For goodness sake.... I'm not "persecuting" anyone. You are a nice guy. You think slavery is immoral. It's fine I get it. Your bible doesn't think slavery is immoral. Your bible condones and regulates slavery, unconditionally. It doesn't put a "limit" on it like "until you find a better economic model" or whatever other excuses have been given in this thread here. It's remarkable how dificult this subject is to discuss with bible believing christians. [/QUOTE]
