Quote# 43117

In another response in the same thread about whether slavery was moral or not and if so, then why didn't God or Jesus try to stop it or say something about it, the fundie in question responded:

"Let me summarize for you. Slavery as written in the Bible is completely moral and fine.

The slavery that Britain and America did was not that written in the Bible, hence was not moral and fine."

Slavery and persecution written in the Bible. Moral and right.

Slavery and persecution not written in the Bible. Immoral and wrong.

I don't see it.

I've actually heard someone make this argument before. It wasn't convincing then either.

Okay, then the sodomy today in America is different from the sodomy in the bible. Therefore homosexual as practiced today in America is okay.

Biblical or Quranical, slavery is a crime against mankind.

Hmm, let's see how these compare:

*Involuntary, unpaid labour:
Biblical - check.
British & Amercian - check.

*Taken by force from home country:
Biblical - check.
British & American - check.

*Treated as property, not people; no personal or political rights:
Biblical - check.
British & American - check.

*Allegedly authorised by god:
Biblical - check
British & American - unknown, no stance taken by god.

Yeah, totally different.

Proving beyond all doubt that the Bible has nothing to do with morality.

All the mental gymnastics they go thru to be able to believe in the Bible, is it really all worth it?

So, you realize you're a slave to your book, but that's OK because your book says its version of slavery is good.

The difference between the two being, what? Be specific and cite where in the Babble you obtained such information.
