[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]In that case, why don't you yield?[/i] "Screw oncomming traffic", that's my motto. ;) [i]I'm not arguing they aren't god's laws here, unless you can provide a quote to the contrary, of course.[/i] Okay, "Would YOU want to be "exposed" to someone elses' "truth"?" It's implicit that God's laws as stated in the Bible are not necessarily the truth, which is the assumption I'm making. [i]Let me guess: no-one asked the slaves for their opinion.[/i] Well, if they wanted to die instead of being slaves THAT badly, they could have, oh, attacked their owner, run away, or just refused to move from the spot they were standing. Assuming, of course, you still don't have a third option for what Israel could have done with a captured enemy army. [i]A prison with diamond bars and walls of gold is still a prison.[/i] Again, you seem to be implying that all forced labor is wrong regardless of circumstances. Obviously this is false, given examples that I've already shown. It's a question of the circumstances and the alternatives. [i]And yet, christianity did a pretty good job at it during the first, oh, seventeen centuries of this millennium. Y'know, convert or die, and all that.[/i] ...which is not forcing beliefs on people, it's forcing actions on people. [i]Today (200 years later) people of African desent no longer even know what god or gods their ansestors worshipped and attend church services becaue it's all they've ever known.[/i] You're saying that slaveholders two hundred years ago forced Christianity on people of today? That's reaching, and you know it. [i]Slavery in the name of the Judeo/Christian god destroyed their religion. But you defend it by saying it "improved their lives by exposing them to the truth"?[/i] Did I say that with regards to African slaves in this country? Sorry, must have missed that... [/QB][/QUOTE]
