1) I'm not even sure if this is true
2) If it is, the fact the bible even implies that a "nice" form of indentured servitude exists shows you why it's probably not something to be taken literally
just because you don't beleive in the bible don't mean you won't burn in DMC...![]()

He said atheists "don't believe in nothing," therefore they believe in something.
silly statement...I guess if it also said not to torture the POW's you caught in war you'd feel the same way?
All it did was recognize what existed at that time and spoke on it.... 's existed at that same time and it spoke loudly pertaining to 's...that's just fact...dude
Ouch, you were faring much better when you were dodging my questions.
Exodus 21:20-2120 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
Let me guess what your answer will be:
"See, if slaver owners beat their slaves to death, they will be punished, so I'm right!"
Beating a person to near death is not treating them nicely, no matter how you spin it.
it didn't say it was ok...
Yeah, God goes through details on how to buy and treat slaves, but he might not actually condone it?![]()
Could be wrong, but I always thought it was agnostics are the ones who don't care enough to believe in god's existence/non-existence one way or another and atheists are the ones who have the firm belief that god doesn't exist. Personally, I think anyone who describes his/her self as a true agnostic who seriously doesn't ever give god's existence one iota of thought is kidding his/her self.
If I had to bet on it, I'd say god doesn't exist, but I'm not firm enough to fully believe one way or the other. One thing I do know for sure, is that if god does exist, he's not a phobe who sends all but one religion to " ". He doesn't give cancer patients miracles while ignoring amputees, and he sure as doesn't communicate directly with Remmington_Bo telling him to drop out of school and work at Jiffylube when he could be warning Haitians about an Earthquake he has the power to stop.
I feel that way regardless. Torturing people who are doing nothing other than carrying out orders is stupid.
it doesn't matter...how you interpret or misinterpret it...he's clearly against gays....
true...but he's not down with 's....![]()
I guess he wasn't down with black Americans prior to the civil rights movement.
Man, god is a racist.
and as for Lngrrr...he's so neanderthal-ish...calling gays gots...while I now call them 's...I'm much more sensitive to their pain than LNGrrr who seems to be defending their cause...lol go figure....

And he is clearly okay with detaining human beings against their will, forcing them to do work, and beating them near death.
But do you think that's okay?
For somebody who claims to be smart, you have the arguing skills of a little kid. It's kind of funny to watch you squirm now that you were shown to no less about the Bible than a non-believer.
well he did choose the Jewish race...and ironically they were the ones that originally ended up being slaves....ha ha ha...ohhh the irony....![]()
Oh, and I love how Koolaid_Man is trying to act like God's position on slavery is up to interpretation, as if the Bible isn't extremely clear on that manner as well.
@ the welcher being 'sensitive' to the s...
Let us proceeeeedddd
If you wanna expound more, he's also OK with people beating their children with rods.
God is a sick .
slavery and gayness are equally wrong...now make me lay on my sword smart guy...I dare ya....
Then why does the bible approve of one but disapprove of the other?
I think it's safe to say we now know who's really gay up in this mutha er...lol
Wait, what?
Why do I have to do anything? You used the Bible as proof that sexuality is wrong, but you turn around and claim that slavery is wrong even though the Bible is okay with it.
You're contradicting yourself. Anybody can see that. I don't have to do anything.
Oh behave, kool! I ain't gay you silly buns.
It's similar to how some Spurs fans use Tim Donaghy
"Everything St. Donaghy says is right, EXCEPT for the part about Nunez rigging the 2007 WCSF."
it doesn't approve of slavery it merely tells about how life existed and how it should be handled in those times...and eventually slavery was stamped out...but God never intended 's to be his way. Listen guy it boils down to one simplistic concept here...
God created Adam and Eve a free (non slaved) Man and Woman and married them for the heterosexual lifestyle...He didn't create slaves and marry them Adam and Steve...period...
