Mosaic slavers could beat their slaves to death and suffer no penalty because the loss of the slave was considered penalty enough. I love how Christians try to retcon history as if we don't have a very good idea of exactly how bad it was for slaves during the savage and primal periods covered in the bible.
Whoops try better next time.
Exodus 21: 20-21
Death is the punishment for beating to death any of your slaves. 21 However, if the slave lives a few days after the beating, you are not to be punished. After all, you have already lost the services of that slave who was your property.
lol at every slave master was Uncle Phil and all the slaves were butlers like Geoffrey. Are you stupid enough to believe that? Are you stupid enough to think anyone believes that?
Leviticus 25:44: Your male and female slaves are to be from the nations around you; you may purchase male and female slaves. A contradiction in the Wholly Fable? I'm shocked...SHOCKED!
God says do not eat shellfish, mix fabrics, murder, or covet; he does not say "do not own people as property", but rather gives rules for how slavery should be conducted. If god thought slavery immoral, wicked, a stain on humanity, he could have just included that in his list of 600~ commandments thorough the OT.
What kind of pantywaist weak ass god do you believe in? One that can't plainly tell its creation that owning other people as property is an abomination?
lol at you having to practice apologetics for your lame duck god.
Yawn.
And for all this shit posting, my rebuttal was already provided to you in my stand alone post. Trying harder and typing with an elevated BP doesn't make anything you posted have more substantiation. But here have another bone;
Slave owners are limited in what they can do: if the master goes too far and the slave dies, the master will be punished. If the Old Testament Law is followed consistently, then the punishment for the slave owner might even include the death penalty for murder. Of course, if a master beats his slave and the slave is unable to work for some time, the master has punished himself by losing the work he might have received from the slave. The implication here is that it is in the master’s best interest not to be too severe.
Slavery has been a fact of human existence for almost as long as the human race has been in existence. Physical punishment to enforce compliance has been part of slavery for just as long. Corporal punishment has also been used in situations other than slavery. For example, physical chastisements were commonly employed as punishment for crimes committed and for the enforcing of discipline in the military. We are not so far removed from the time when brutal physical punishment was administered and accepted by almost everyone as legitimate. In the British Navy, flogging for disobedience or insubordination was common until the mid-19th century, and caning was used until the mid-20th century. In some places, such as Singapore, caning is still an official form of punishment for certain crimes.
Question(s) for you. How does it feel to know you will stand before God and be judged no matter what you believe or don't believe? A little over / under would be cool on how you think its going to fair for you breh.
