Isaid: Since no religion has consistently opposed slavery, at least on that point, all religions are wrong.

You said: And your proof of this statement?

Your question is my proof. If there were a religion that had always consistently repudiated slavery, and its adherents had never practiced it in any form, you would have posted it immediately, showing how stupid my rash statement was. You cannot. That is my proof.

(There are some religions, [unlike the Christian religion which actually explains the rules for proper treatment of slaves, buying and selling them, etc.], in which slavery, while not repudiated, is not condoned, and, as far as I know, slavery is generally not related to those religions, although some holding those religions certainly had slaves, e.g. Shinto and Buddhism come to mind.)

No it isn't. You have to prove that any correct religion would repudiate slavery in all its forms.

Do you have any proof, or any reason to say that whatsoever?

Shalom.

the Christian religion which actually explains the rules for proper treatment of slaves

Exodus 20-10 (the commandment regarding the sabbath), for instance, condones slavery.

"No work may be done then either by you, or your son or daughter, or your male of female slave, or your beast, or by the alien who lives with you."
