you'd think that a supposed "supreme" and loving god would have probably told his "children" that slavery is a BIG no-no. ESPECIALLY in a world where slavery was as common as it was in the time period that the bible was set in...

but if you look at the words/laws that this supposed god alledgedly gave his people, his "children" if you will, he seems to be generally o.k. with the idea and practice of human flesh peddling...in other words- of some of his children owning other of his children.

like i said- once i outgrew the childhood indoctrination, and actually looked at the whole "god" scenario with a critical eye and open mind- atheism became the obvious choice.
