LMAO! Dan Carlin is far from religious, and the last thing he does is whitewash anything. In fact, the stuff he talks about is blood curdling and may even make you vomit everywhere.

Sure bud, I'll rephrase. I really don’t care about your totally non-religious podcast, especially one that tries to whitewash indentured servitude.

If you’re referring to those mega churches and people like the Duggars, then ya. I agree with you there and agree that’s wrong.

Them too. But you only need to look at how the christian churches protect pedophiles and abusers, help them escape the law and reoffend again to see how much power and influence they get.

Plus, the catholic church alone is worth billions, with land holdings, historical artifacts, etc.

Becoming a high-ranking member grants you influence over your underlings and delusional people, food and shelter for the rest of your life, etc.

You know well that this is about judicial punishment. If a slave murders someone, for example

Feel free to quote the verse where it says you can only beat slaves as judicial punishment.

No. It’s a reality and a fact that not every single word in the Bible is a commandment. There has to be context and even just basic information about events, people, cultures, etc.

And that context just happens to be in form of direct commandments. Oops.

Is it a good thing that people go on welfare, or is it preferable to starving? Again, this is where we get into the definition of the word. Think about it, how would it be preferable to be mistreated, beaten, and abused?

I think plenty of people would prefer to be poor and free then to be fed and a slave.

But if you think otherwise, would you be in favor of putting all homeless and poor people in involuntary servitude? Since it's preferable to welfare and starving, according to you.
