Did anyone here say they favor slavery? The question was whether or not God "approved" of slavery. Since God made provision for the treatment of slaves, it is clear that he did not prohibit it. Nor did he require it.
I expected better arguments from you, Doc. Jumping on the "creationists love slavery" bandwagon is evidence of a vacuous position.
No, actually, it's right to the point. The point is that creationists/literalists/etc. actually pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to actually adhere to, and which they're going to handwave away or ignore entirely. Most of the "God said it, that settles it" folks get awfully evasive when some of the less savory portions of the Bible are brought up for discussion. And most of the ones who don't hold positions (e.g. on slavery) that most conservatives would rightly find abhorrent.
