[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]You really think slaves were treated well? Slaves were not treated well (historically) by anyone. Ever.[/i] That's... and amazing display of ignorance. [i]You really think that just because the new owners of thsese slaves were Hebrew that they were better off?[/i] Spiritually, yes. Physically, probably. Israel was for a time a very rich country, and at the very least they'd have a guarentee of not being beaten to death. [i]I made the alalgy with America;s slavery of Africans because they used that same bible to justify all their brutality.[/i] Hmm... so your chain of reasoning is something like: American slavery claimed it was based on Hebrew slavery; American slavery was wrong; therefore Hebrew slavery was wrong. The problem is that your reasoning is based on the idea that American slaveholders were correct when they claimed their breed of slavery was the same as the Hebrew kind of slavery. I'm arguing that it's not. [i]And as you pointed out: God would know whats going to happen, so why give slavery of any kind the big thumbs up?[/i] Depends on what would have happened otherwise, yes? [i]If Buhddaists came and enslaved your family, then sold you to Islamists, what would you say? It's OK'd by your god after all.[/i] Not unless I was a POW in a war my God told them to start. You're missing the circumstances under which slaves could be taken. [i]Who says there is only one Truth?[/i] Logical laws against contradiction? [i]Actions that led to beliefs.[/i] So you're saying that by making people go to church, you make them believe what they hear there? Somehow I doubt the slaves were that weak-minded. [/QB][/QUOTE]
