"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
Matthew 5:17–18
It's still in effect according to your prophet and the son of your god, but you surely know more than him.
You said: "The Bible doesn’t teach dominating and torturing people, for one."
I gave to plenty of evidence, from the bible directly, that it teaches dominating and torturing people, you just choose to disregard facts because it does not agree with your narrative, which seems to be an epidemic with you religious types.
That (unlike slavery) is not a despicable things, so I won't argue against it. Maybe try understanding my argument before trying (and failing) to come up with a snappy reply.
Again, I won't buy any of his content. I don't care for slavery apoligists.
I'm keenly aware that christians forced their religion on everybody they could when it was acceptable. Thankfully, it's less acceptable now, but we still have ways to go. Thanks for reminding me how christianity pushed back the progess of science and humanity by centuries.
You did quote the wikipedia article that said that...
I looked up his name and his christian podcast came up, I went to his website where he is selling is podcast episodes.
I didn't need to discredit him, he did that all on his own.
So you just argue for this you don't belive in and agree with?
This is you, by the way:
And he is a homophobe as well, what a surprise...
I would think you really didn't need to argue the fact that slavery is a bad thing, but the bible and you seem to disagree.
The arguments was about if the bible teaches to dominate and torture people, by the way, not just about slavery.
I just though that you'd agree that slavery counted as dominating and torturing people. How wrong I was.
Well, if the "source material" is a supposedly supernatural book and religion, and a pastor's podcast for that religion, I really don't need to undermine it, it already undermined itself.
How brave of you to leave an argument you lost.
I don't misrepresent what you said, you're just insinuating I did, becuase you realized your arguments sound really bad when you put them out there.
