this is actually an interesting topic
if i said that, planned parenthood never made anyone get an abortion...?
and that less than 10 percent of planned parenthoods activity is actually abortions?
Indentured servitude is not equal to G-rated slavery. Indentured servitude is still taking a human life and merchandising it.
The ending result is still culling of population, which was the intended effect of abortion. Over a million are performed each year. It's still up to the individual whether or not to get them, but they provide the mechanisms for such an act to occur on such a wide scale.
if thats your definition then we are all indentured servants from birth my G
and guess who our "slave master" is?
so what?The ending result is still culling of population, which was the intended effect of abortion. Over a million are performed each year. It's still up to the individual whether or not to get them, but they provide the mechanisms for such an act to occur on such a wide scale.
So which parts of the Bible have to do with Christianity? I'd like to know which portions I can conveniently ignore because it doesn't fit with what our view of what Christianity is supposed to be.
You said the bible Ok'd a different brand of slavery that was more akin to indentured servitude and wasn't as bad. I'm arguing that there have been plenty of rebellions and uprisings over indentured servitude as well in which they were being treated poorly. Indentured servitude is not equal to G-rated slavery. Indentured servitude is still taking a human life and merchandising it.
Additionally, human's by nature abuse power when they get an unlimited supply of it. It was simply following to the natural flow of events that by allowing that milder version of slavery, it would inevitably lead to the type that occurred in the Atlantic slave trade at some point in time.
What the US does is prisons is indeed also a form of slavery because there are seldom true efforts to rehabilitate and reenter the prisoners into society.
Idk where you're going with this. The bolded is how you interpreted what I was saying but wasn't the point I was making at all. Obviously slavery is slavery it's all bad blah blah blah but the point was that OP and most of the folks arguing with me just trying to evoke emotion using that shyt without context. It's was a reality for practically everyone in ancient society, and practiced among all races, black folks included. You just really wanna shoehorn that the bible "condoned" slavery via flimsy logic. I and other posters explained how the logic was flimsy in earlier posts and if that's the point where we can't agree no matter what then let's just exchange negs and call it a day. I'm pretty much done with this thread
Dudes still trying to use the weak arugment of slavry in the bible.
I've been doing this internet thing for a long time, but rarely have I ever seen the levels of juking and dodging that @Dafunkdoc_Unlimited has done in here...
First it's "Christians don't have to follow the OT...and we should ignore the NT verses that condone slavery"
Then it's "well biblical slavery wasn't as bad as modern slavery...and that, for some reason, makes it ok to own another human being"
Then it's "well, what do you expect, biblical times were less civilized than modern times...but that, for some reason, doesn't mean we should stop appealing to a biblical age text for moral instruction"
Then it's "...well the Constitution is just as bad!"
Here, @Dafunkdoc_Unlimited , I think you dropped something
Cheese, you on "Hold This L" Camera!
