"I'm just curious why people receive eternal damnation for disbelieving the six days of creation, but remain blissfully ignorant of the rules for acquiring and beating their slaves."
---
Not believing in a literal six days of creation will not send you to Hell, and believing in a literal six days of creation will not get you to Heaven.

The problem is that we cannot keep God's law. No one is perfect including me. God doesn't send anyone to Hell; we send ourselves by sinning (breaking His law).

The good news is that He has made a way for us to go to His heaven. Jesus did all the work for us.

p.s. I'm still working on an answer to your previous post. I don't have all the answers but I'm trying to find them.

I wish you luck. I personally think moral thinking evolves.

I also think evolution is not the same as progress. So it is possible for moral thinking to improve at times and regress at time. The current thinking about slavery is, I think, and example of improvement over time.
