In that time and in those places, slavery was a fact of life. It is a fact of life today. Who, other than christians, speak out against it?

Exodus 20 says God created the universe in 6 days and Exodus 21 says slavery is OK with God. So why are 'christians' speaking out against slavery but whole heartedly supporting 6 day creation?

[zeeba neighba]

God never says slavery is ok. It exists, as sin exists, as a fact of life. To equate an evil in society with creation by a holy God is ludicrous.

Please study the customs of that place and time.
A Hebrew could place himself in 'slavery' for period of time. Think of it as a work contract.
Jacob did it to obtain a wife.
Your making the mistake of equating the slavery that the Bible recognized (not condoned) with the slavery in America.
