*** Evidence please.***

One example of slavery freely entered into is in Exodus 21
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2021%20;&version=47;



*** Not necessarily?? You equated the willing exchange of goods and services with slavery.***

Wrong. I am showing that modern societies still allow some degree of "ownership" of aspects of one individual's life by another - proof of that "ownership" being the right to deprive the "owned" one of liberty for some certain period.


***Because they are not the property of their birth parents either. If you beat and abuse your children you have given up your parental rights.***

Who bestows "parental right"? The State? For all intents and proposes, in the current socialist climate the State is handling children as property.


*** As defined by you? ***

As defined by Jesus in Matt 5, 6 & 7


*** Why don't you spend the time reading up on some science instead,***

So you decline.

It is because you know in your heart you are a slave.

Like I said, you are equating the free exchange of goods and services with slavery. Just like Marx did. All so you can obliterate the absolute evil of slavery.

"One example of slavery freely entered into is in Exodus 21"

Those are hypotheticals, and mostly disgusting examples of the worst parts of the Old Testament. That you would try to argue your case with this is not surprising.


"As defined by Jesus in Matt 5, 6 & 7"

I don't accept that as a proper definition of morality.

"So you decline.

No, your game is just a stupid one. I don't accept your premises. And I don't need lectures on morality from a slavery apologist.
