I am arguing with your title alone "
Slavery is divinely inspired, straight from God."
. The little excerpts you posted aren't really saying anything.
Slavery was a fact of life before Abraham was born. There are laws regarding slavery in the OT.
I wouldn't call that "divinely inspired"
Evidence of slavery predates written records. Slavery was known in civilizations as old as
Sumer, as well as almost every other ancient civilization, including
Ancient Egypt,
Ancient China, the
Akkadian Empire,
Assyria,
Ancient India,
Ancient Greece, the
Roman Empire, the Islamic
Caliphate, and the
pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas.
[10] Such institutions were a mixture of
debt-slavery, punishment for crime, the enslavement of
prisoners of war,
child abandonment, and the birth of slave children to slaves.
Now, debt slavery makes sense as going to jail doesn't really pay back the person you owe money to
the second about conquered people get enslaved instead of killed
but again, there is no proof slavery is divinely inspired. if you say that, then you need fucking proof.
divine inspiration -
Divine inspiration is the concept of a
supernatural force, typically a
deity, causing a person or people to experience a
creative desire. Divine inspiration has been a commonly reported aspect of many
religions, for thousands of years. Divine inspiration is often closely tied to the concept of
revelation, the belief in information being revealed or disclosed through communication with a deity or other supernatural entity or entities.
