***All so you can obliterate the absolute evil of slavery.***
The nature of slavery is dependent upon the characters of the master and slave. It can not be "absolutely" evil or else there would be no one though out history who willingly entered into the arrangement - as I have shown there to be.
Besides, this is really just a smokescreen so you don't have to deal with the claim God has to your life.
*** Those are hypotheticals***
You asked for an example - you got it.
*** I don't accept that as a proper definition of morality.***
What do you accept as a "proper definition of morality"? Do you actually believe anyhting is absolutely good or evil (besides slavery).
***And I don't need lectures on morality from a slavery apologist.****
Weak arguments must, at some point, resort to name calling.

"The nature of slavery is dependent upon the characters of the master and slave. It can not be "absolutely" evil or else there would be no one though out history who willingly entered into the arrangement - as I have shown there to be."
It is always evil. And you have shown nobody who has willingly been a slave. You quoted a verse of Exodus where a hypothetical slave is allowed to become free if he really really doesn't want to be. No evidence that that ever happened. The rest was an immoral acceptance of slavery.
" Besides, this is really just a smokescreen so you don't have to deal with the claim God has to your life."
If God has such a claim, He will make it, not you. No man is God, and no man can make that claim to my life. Slavery is evil. No matter what you think.
"What do you accept as a "proper definition of morality"? Do you actually believe anyhting is absolutely good or evil (besides slavery)."
Yes I do, I am just not an altruist. You are the moral relativist who thinks slavery can be OK.
" Weak arguments must, at some point, resort to name calling."
You ARE a slavery apologist.
I don't need lessons from a slavery apologist.
