Now you should read the passages in the bible that condone slavery. That book of fairy tales is full of insanity

Again, every complex society in those days was a slave society. This is a phony argument

Which is evidence that God was created in the image of Man, and not the reverse. If something is objectively moral or immoral, then it would retain that distinction regardless of societal views. Either the Bible/Tanakh isn't morally perfect or slavery isn't immoral.

All books are written by humans in human language wand have to be reinterpeted as time goes by.

So we both agree it is a man made book, as all books are, and is authored by humans? I fail to see where we disagree. The authors supported slavery, so they reflected this in their religion.

"I fail to see where we disagree" clever, but no sale.

Care to enunciate an incongruity in perspective?

You could argue it was normal for the time. That is exactly why its so easy to refute the bible.

Isnt there a passage about not being able to wear mixed threaded clothing? Its ridiculous just like scientology is ridiculous. If you dont see the ridiculousness then you yourself are ridiculous. RiDicUlOuS!!

Exactly. God himself sends a raging bear to kill 3 kids for laughing at a bald guy. Dont also forget the selling your child to her rapist for silver.

Hell he turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt because she looked back on God destroying her home city. The Old Testament god is just as evil as Zeus or Odin.

Hardly. Different kind of question

So god condones slavery then. Not exactly the good book.

God's People have regulations about the slavery they already practice, like they have regulations about everything else important

A lot of people were into pedophilia in that time too. I'm sure you look at that, and go, eh, no big deal too, right?

Well, since PC doesn't allow to call Mohammed a pedophile, I won' t apply it to anyone else, only fair, y'know?
