It's such odd behavior. And it is the same thing every time. In every religion.Who is rewriting history? It seems to be you in excusing slavery. The problem with your applying equivocation to slavery is that it had consequences for the enslaved. My objection to using the Bibles as a moral guide is based exclusively on the listed ethics in the Bibles which fall far short of present day ethics man applies in modern day civilization. Even the cruelest of penalties, the death penalty, is done more humanely by man than we see that the gods would have it done. Slavery is not condemned in the Bibles but it is in the laws of the USA for instance. Stoning of criminals is a viable method of punishment in the Bibles but it is not acceptable to modern civilized nations. That is why there is such outrage against sharia in Moslem countries. It's not because they go "against the word of the Gods" -- but because they adhere to the word of the Gods. Why is that?It's pretty typical that nonbelievers rewrite history to suit their own vain imaginings. Do you know what indentured servitude was? They didn't have a nanny state back in the day that handed out money to people who didn't work. You paint with such a broad brush, I can't even respond. Are you talking about the Jews and their laws? That's what I thought we were talking about. Otherwise, the fact that you blame God for every ill perpetrated in His name is nonsensical.It's pretty typical that religionists will redefine amorality as morality. You are certainly free to redefine slavery as acceptable via sidestepping and equivocation but that serves only as an excuse for a past history of Christian amoral behavior. Slavery has a long and lurid history in Christiandom. Take responsibility for what your ideology has done to humanity.You're wrong about the low morality of God's people, for one. You're also mistaken about slavery. An indentured slave, for instance, is not the same as the slavery you seem to be thinking of.About what, specifically?Because it's clear you're mistaken.
Your hatred of religion has nothing to do with God. Your hatred should be directed at what man has done in the name of God. I'm surprised you can't see the difference.
I don't hate your gods. That more involvement with your gods than I need or want.
"Look at the evil shit those assholes did, using your religion to justify it."
Believer: "They are doing it wrong, then! There is nothing there to justify their behavior!!! You're wrong and mean!"
Uh...why in the hell are you yelling at me? I am not the one performing evil and justifying it with direct quotes from your handbook. THEY are. Go yell at them!
