    Oh I’m sorry is that quote supposed to make slavery seem ok?

    Guys it’s not a big deal because the Bible had rules about buying and selling humans for labor and profit.

    Treated like family

    Except you skipped Exodus 21:20

    20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

    Fuck right off with this “slaves were meant to be treated like family” revisionist bullshit

    I’m sure you need to tell yourself that to feel ok about your hateful, awful, vacuous religion, but it’s insultingy ahistorical.

    Even your own fucking book doesn’t agree

    Does your family also have a clause where if they get pregnant, you get to own and enslave the offspring? Wow super family like, guys (see edit below for text of Leviticus 25:44-55)

    Your reply frankly disgusts me.

    Without research… Sure you want to go there bud? Sure you don’t want your disgusting beliefs strewn about this public forum for all to see?

    I bet I know more about it than you do. The thing is, I’m also familiar with (like actual, real) history so I’m aware of what slavery actually was like in those times. Not through the mouth of a lying, destructive, bigoted book. But you have no interest in that do you?

    Time to go back to your pastor with some questions, big guy.

    Edit:

    Here’s the verse to backup the clause I mentioned above:

    As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. 45 You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. 46 You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.

    Leviticus 25:44-55

    Fucking gross. “Don’t treat one another ruthlessly, however, you are allowed to rape your slaves and then own their children”
