I want to know what could possibly be harmful about slavery in the first place. Slavery is not bad it is the abuse of that power (or any power) that is bad. Alcohol is not bad, guns are not bad, but people are.

Alcohol and guns are objects. Objects only cause harm if acted upon by a malevolent force.
Tell ya what, if it's not so bad, how about you come on over to my place so I can own you?
Er- Could someone explain wage slavery to me? I tried to wiki it, but the entry is pretty useless. (Or, having just finished out a semester, I have randomly lost my ability to make sense of simple English. This is possible too.)
I think what daivd_x is getting at is more reasonable than most others fundies here. Slavery isn't such a horrible institution when it's used as a punishment or in return fo something (indentured servitude). Slavery on the basis of race or herditiy, though, is quite bad.
Alcohol is, by its makeup, a mild poison. Poisons are bad for you, regardless of whether you enjoy their effects.
If it's not so bad, go be someone's slave.
The owning of another person is tantamount to claiming their soul as your own. And giving yourself priority in the eyes of God. Interesting that this is coming from a conservative.
Then again, not altogether surprising.
Try being sold as, and living, as an unwilling slave for a few years, forced to work by the constant threat of punishment, pain and death held over your head by an indifferent master.
Then tell us how harmless it is.
There's an old rugged cross...just burnin' on the lawn.
If slavery is not bad, then why don't you become one?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
