Slavery is not wrong. Bad slavery is wrong. Many slaves in America before the civil war and after it did not want freed. They knew they had it nice; food, clothing, a roof over their heads, a good master. Likewise in the Bible good slaver is condogned but not bad.

TonyN, you are my slave, then. What the fuck are you doing wasting time on the internet when there's chores needing done? You're in for a whuppin!
Most slaves weren't quite sure how to start a new life, since they were on their own, but they definitely were glad that they were free. "Likewise in the Bible good slaver is condogned but not bad."
That's right, keep telling yourself that. Listen to the Bible when it justifies being in a crappy position. You make yourself feel better about justifying why a worse position in life makes you a superior person. [/sarcasm]
It both frightens and sickens me to think that there are still people who think this way. I don't care what your twisted little holy book says, there is no such thing as "good" slavery. If you had any empathy at all, you'd understand that. I know, that's just too much to ask.
Yes, because godless people are "untermensch", right? They are okay to abuse and exploit for your own selfish needs, they don't have souls or really feel pain, they're just mindless sacks of meat, right?
Bad slavery?, Excuse me, but as far as I am concerned, considering other people your property is BAD, no matter how you look at it. Obviously you didn´t read the data well, but in the civil war, practically ALL freed slaves and all ex-slaves backed abolition. I nominate this one history revisionist of the month.
As far as I know, the bible makes no distinction between good and bad slavery (Oh, except that it's real bad for egyptians to enslave israelis and gets god angry, but perfectly ok for israelis to enslave anyone else. You'd think their experience in egypt would teach a little empathy.). I certainly don't make such a distinction, the only difference is that the bible's for and I'm against.
It's a repeated notion (possibly from the same guy), but it's definitely not the same post, so this entry is fine.
Some former slaves may have chose to keep their jobs in return for room and board, as an alternative to being unemployed and homeless, but I doubt any of them didn't want to be free.
Something tells me he's volunteering to OWN slaves, not BE one. Funny, that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
