Slavery was an ancient institution borne of compassion.

So now you are defending slavery outright. How delicious.

I defend nothing, I merely point out the conditions that created slavery. I guess you came from outer space and your people never indulged in slavery. My guess is your people did in fact deal in slavery at some point. I am pretty sure they did, given your likely provenance is Europe, Asia, or Africa. So why the snotty attitude, why the pious assholiness? If slavery is this great sin, then why did’nt Christ condemn it? Moses? How about Buddha? Zoroaster? Can you think of any prophet that did? Are you seriously equating Lincoln to a prophet? Why did Plato and Aristotle not sort things out, why did we wait until the 19th century to deal with it? My objection is to the utter hypocrisy of those condemning something that costs them nothing to condemn. Yeah, I’m for warm puppies and free cookies too. I just don’t know how to deliver them to all of humanity in the face of historical precedence. Shoosh, grow up.
