The Bible says:
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money (Exodus 21:20-21).
JS said: The Bible says there's no pununishment for beating a slave to death. What do you think?
I would say that whoever has not accurately read the bible.

I read it just fine. the slave is property. If the slave lingers on for a day or two, there's no problem with the beating or the resultant death.
What part of this do you agree is good moral teaching?
