[in a debate about homosexuality, someone inevitably pulls the "Bible says it's wrong" card; when someone comments that the Bible also says slavery is okay:]

Vladimir: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that slavery is ok. I don't know where you heard that but it's simply untrue. As I said before, my father is a pastor and has read the entire Bible over 4 times and nowhere in it does it say that slavery is ok.

So your father is either...

A) An illiterate liar.

B) A moron who claims to have read the book but just skimmed through the odd passages he felt like.

C) Someone who actually read the Bible and purposefully ignored/blocked out what was written there. As someone else already pointed out, there's Ephesians 6:5-9, and that's just ONE of the passages we're referring to.

Take your pick, they all fucking suck and make you and your idiot father look like retards.

Edit: Ha, I skimmed through the thread, he stopped posting when they started quoting Bible passages, without refuting anything. The funny thing is he seems to still be posting elsewhere, he just conveniently ignores that topic.

Hi I am an aardvark. My main accomplishment is that I have abolished slavery in the Kingdom of Biblonia. I said to my very good friend the king, " King, ol' boy, what say you abolish slavery in Biblonia and we can remain friends"? "Dashed good idea", he replied, and promptly sold all his slaves to a foreign land.

Since all his subjects were also all slaves, that meant there was only a population of one in the whole of Biblonia. The king promptly sold himself into slavery in a foreign land because he was starved of human companionship, he was lonely in Biblonia. Two weeks later he was found whipped to death at the bottom of a quarry.

Now, with the humans all gone, I just wander through the night eating termites and ants and I've forgotten how to speak. All that remains is for me to stick my considerable tongue out at the world.

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

If you are going to go around throwing the bible in peoples faces then is it too much to ask for you to at least READ THE DAMNNED BOOK!

I don't know where you heard that but it's simply untrue

I read it in the fucking bible, did you even bother to check before you put your foot in your mouth?

As I said before, my father is a pastor and has read the entire Bible over 4 times

4 Times!?! Damn... Your father must be a piss poor pastor, I've read the damn bible more times than that and I'm an atheist! If fact the acceptance and advocation of slavery was one of the things in the bible that I fond do be inherently immoral and reprehensible.

nowhere in it does it say that slavery is ok.

Except for all the places that it does. If you are going to insist on Lying for Jesus(TM) then at least bother to make that lie halfway believible and not so easily refuted.

Didn't think this would be so popular when I submitted it.

Also, I just put this small part of the post because it jumped out at me. Reviewing it now, I realize the whole thing is complete fundy nuttiness. So here's the complete post:

AuroraKing: I know that not everybody believes in the Bible. I believe that we would have a great world if everyone did. I mean think of it, no wars, no killing, no adultry, no lying, cheating, or stealing. But that's just my opinion and I'm getting off subject again.

Also, I really don't care what modern scientists are telling us. I mean sure some of it is true but a lot of scientists are atheist (No offense to anyone here who is) and they just want to find a way of explaining things without God. Take evolution for example. It is being disproved over and over again but scientists just keep coming up with even more crazy theories because they want to say that creation was of natural causes. Dang, I getting of subject again.

Homosexuality is a choice despite what scientists say. With God's help anything is possible and that includes quitting being a homosexual.

One more thing. I'm not trying to ram my religion down people's throats. I am simply stating what I know to be true. It's up to you to believe it or not.

NWT: Are you going to tell God that his opinion doesn't count?
