You really should listen to Dan Carlin's podcasts. (Even if it's not for the sake of this discussion, his content is unmatched)

I really don't care about your religious podcast, especially one that tries to whitewash slavery.

It's not like it comes with more pay like a job. It's basically just more work.

It does come with pay, as well and power and influence.

Because that's what you're choosing to hear. You're ignoring all the other things I've said.

I'm hearing reality and ignoring the delusional falsehoods you're saying, yes.

You're also ignoring the part where women slaves could be forced to marry their masters, where men could not.

But they were completely equal, right?

Anything with abuse is abuse and is abhorrent. The Bible says as much.

I didn't say that for the part where it says how you can beat your slave.

It didn't say that for the part about dashing babies into rocks.

It didn't say that for child murder.

No, the Bible records it. The Bible also places a huge emphasis on showing love to your neighbour and your enemy.

Oh, I see. When something supports agenda then it's the bible's core message, but when something doesn't look to good for it, then it's just recorded in it, and also out of context.

How convenient.

If you haven't noticed, the bible frequently contradicts itself.

No one here ever said slavery of any kind was good. Not in the slightest. You might be confusing your preconceptions for something I said.

Huh, so this wasn't a quote used by you?

"In fact, there were cases in which, from a slave's point of view, the stability of servitude under a family in which the slave was well-treated would have been preferable to economic freedom."
