Huh!!! Come on. Read how the bible instructs Israel in going to war. Deuteronomy 20 and, even more diabolically, Numbers 31. The god of the OT not only endorses slavery and other jaw-dropping crimes against humanity – he commands them. There are sane ways to deal with this, but denying that the bible condones atrocities against humans – specifically those whom it flags as “the other” – is inexcusable. To attempt to redefine what is obviously human plunder as “not slavery” is not only inexcusable, it’s daft. Even if the wordplay were convincing, you would be left with a god who kinda likes slavery but definitely likes genocide and almost indescribably cruelty. The bible you’re quoting ought not be read in front of young children.
@jpm would like us to avoid this topic since it’s been visited way too often lately, so I will not contribute further. Just please, for the last time, gather enough integrity to stop defending the indefensible. It’s not necessary, and it makes you look really bad.
