It makes me wonder if you never say anything mean to anyone's faces and you just take out all this passive aggression here at a rate of like 40-50 posts a day.

How else does someone dismiss the Bible like you do in the face of such demonstrable proofs of its relevance throughout history, including now?

I have intended to visit Indonesia for several years now because it I suspect it isn't as raunchy as the Philippines or Thailand and I haven't gone. I also have a friend who lives in Jakarta.
Let us also remember that in the context that was given... I was being frandly.

Thanks for your suggestion. If you need to calm yourself between posts, like you say, then you do that. There is nothing wrong with you wanting to contribute to a better forum.
You attack people on the internet and hold random things they've said against them over a pretty significant period of time.
I do not think that is desirable behavior for anyone.

This:
[b]In the above passage God is depicted as clearly and unambiguously condoning chattel slavery.
What's interesting is the number of Christians who feel compelled to defend God condoning chattel slavery when faced with this.
Why not simply assert that the depiction of God condoning chattel slavery by the Jews was wrong since it is antithe ...[text shortened]... gitimacy of that portion fo the Bible and deny that God ever had these plans for the Israelites.

Originally posted by @thinkofoneI think the contemporary view on slavery is too dismissive if past realities,so people act like it was the worst imaginable scenario.

What's your objection with what I'm saying?
Originally posted by @philokaliaHow what you quoted in and of itself could reasonably be termed a " misconception of how slavery functioned and how it is 'supposed to' function or some such"? It's a non-sequitur. What you quoted says nothing of "how slavery functioned" or "how it is 'supposed to' function". As such, how can it reasonably be termed a "misconception" of either?

A while back you had said something to the effect that you aren't very smart. I still believe you.

Slavery is wrong. Slavery has always been wrong. Slavery will always be wrong.
Leviticus 25
44“ ‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 ...[text shortened]... doning chattel slavery by the Jews was wrong since it is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus?
"In the above passage God is depicted as clearly and unambiguously condoning chattel slavery."
You must be suffering from some sort of ambiguous mental disorder. You state that slavery is wrong, and then state that God condones slavery.
Thanks for letting us know how much smarter than God you are.
