God On Slavery |
"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from the nations that are round about you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession forever; you may make slaves of them, but over your brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness." ..........Leviticus 25:44 If the religious right gets the theocracy it wants, large Texas corporations could finally legally own Mexican immigrant workers. "When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money." ..........Exodus 21:20 How many black Christians are there in the United States? Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ...." ..........Ephesians 6:5 The slave master is your god. Isn't that precious? "Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, . . . and they shall be your possession . . . they shall be your bondmen forever." ..........Leviticus 25:45-46 And most of the Christians in the North in the days of the Civil War thought slavery was wrong? Which fucking Bible were they reading? "Let all who are under the yoke slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those that benefit by their service are believers and beloved." ..........1 Timothy 6:1 Good Christian folks may own other good Christian folks as slaves. This must be why Taft had a company store. "Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect..." ..........Titus 2:9 Your ass is gonna mind. "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. . . . And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the manservant's do." Leviticus 21:6-7 You can only lease male children of God, not buy them permanently, but any good Christian and loving father may sell his daughter outright. Jesus loves you. This is why God was so pissed at the Pharoh "Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes...." ..........Luke 12:37 |
"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion." ..........Robert M. Pirsig |
