I do not believe slavery is wrong, because a) The bible does not condemn slavery and b) Slavery makes so much sense and to say slavery is wrong we rob the gospel off its meaning and even Election.

I went to her site and I have to say that I was speechless.
She is a young black woman who maybe needs to look back into her own ancestory. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure she will find that her own family members were slaves. Too bad she can't speak to them, as I'm sure they would set her straight.
Not a poe. Some illiterate dodo that is obsessed with proving the bible to be infallible, at least she's not in denial that the bible condones slavery, incest, and child marriages.
Now I want to see her write a blog about the latter two.
"...we rob the gospel off its meaning and even Election."
What the Hell is that supposed to mean, anyway? That phrase makes no sense.
I understand that there is so much evil in slavery, when masters abuse their slaves. That is wrong. The bible condemns treating others in an evil way. So this is not the issue. But slavery in itself is not wrong. Just as husbands can abuse wives, does it mean marriage is evil? Or parents can abuse their children, does it mean parenting is wrong?
Woo..if this isn't a poe, this is one sick pup.

She meant to type "we rob the gospel off? its meaning and !even, Election."
Jean Says:"I understand that there is so much evil in slavery, when masters abuse their slaves. That is wrong. The bible condemns treating others in an evil way."
I guess then Jean doesn't consider beating your slave until they die a day or two later from internal injuries as treating others in an evil way. What a sick, sick bitch.
He´s absolutely right,
if you use the bible as basis of your morality,
slavery is absolutely O.K.
(as long as the slaveholder adheres to certain rules [for example not beating the slave so that s/he immediately dies {whereas it is O.K. if the slave dies 1-2 days after the beating}])
We should be glad that no western country uses biblical old testamentary laws as basis of its legislature
Slavery is a necessary evil in a culture where manual labour is the only source of production.
However by using such technology as the horse harness or the ox yoke, we can abandon the use of slaves.
Also the invention of CURRENCY alows hiring of wage workers.
Tell Jean the bronze age is over
I do not believe slavery is wrong
And with that statment you have surrendered any pretense to the moral high ground.
a) The bible does not condemn slavery
And that somehow makes it right? The bible does not condemn pedophilia is that ok too?
b) Slavery makes so much sense
That moral high ground is getting further & further away.
and to say slavery is wrong we rob the gospel off its meaning and even Election.
Then allow me to rob your gospel of it's meaning. SLAVERY. IS. WRONG.
The sooner ideas such as yours pass into history as nothing more than a bad memory, the better humanity shall be for it.
There I was, innocently reading a relatively coherent sentence when all of a sudden, I tripped over the wharrgarbl!
I think I broke my toe. :(
In the comments on this Jean herself has this to say about who should be the slaves
"As I said in biblical times slavery was mostly voluntary, but as for today I cant see that still happening. So that is a question I cant answer."
I am just stunned... really truly stunned at her ignorance
I do hope that this is a Poe
To everybody who wishes this is a Poe - it's not. This woman is very serious about all she says. She's totally brainwashed and is the worst example of where Christianity leads people. She's the one who is glad that her four year old daughter acknowledges that she (the daughter) is sinful.
Credit to this 'Virtuous Woman' she's at least being consistent about Christianity. All the moderate Christians are not. This woman is seeing it to its logical conclusion, and by so doing illustrates the total f**kness of it.
I feel so sorry for her, for her daughter, and for all she touches.
If slavery is so wonderful, why is the story of Exodus in the Bible? It's all about being released from slavery.
Exodus 20:2 - "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Deuteronomy 7:8 - "...but because Yahweh loves you, ... has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."
Jeremiah 34:13 - "Thus said the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves..."
etc, etc, etc..
"I do not believe slavery is wrong, because a) The bible does not condemn slavery and b) Slavery makes so much sense and to say slavery is wrong we rob the gospel off its meaning and even Election."
In that case:

You've just disobeyed the Bible, the LITERAL Word of God. Therefore you're going to HELL! Can't pick & choose which human rights (especially those which apply to you) are allowed and which aren't. If you condone slavery, then you condone women being considered inferior to men, being kept barefoot & naked, being a baby-making machine, and chained to the cooker. And SHUTTING THE FUCK UP!
...what's that? You can't bear not having equal rights to men? Then you must recant your 'Faith' and become an Atheist. Can't cherry-pick parts of the Bible that you like & don't like, you know (but that further proves the hypocrisy of Fundies). If you women want to enjoy full human rights, then so do blacks. And gays. And women to choose whether or not to have that baby. And Creationism/'Intelligent Design' to NOT be taught in schools. And people to NOT believe in a 'God' if they so wish, and fundies not having the right to say otherwise.
Can't have your cake & eat it, sweetheart.
Is she at all a palatable woman, instead of one of those fundie motherhogs?
If she's halfway attractive, and free of disease, then I might enslave her. I'm sure I can think of fun and creative things to do with a slave, and she thinks its allright!
If she doesn't at any point I can use those biblical verses on how slaves should always obey and please even the cruelest masters!
"Slavery makes so much sense"
It certainly does. Get your ass over here and start cleaning my house. Make sure that floor shines, you know what's going to happen if it doesn't.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
