Excellent information. Thanks for the ping.

Biblical law permits voluntary slavery because it recognizes that some people are not able to maintain a position of independence. To attach themselves voluntarily to a capable man and to serve him, protected by law, is thus a legitimate way of life, although a lesser one.

Sounds like working for any company or corporation now days.

I don't recall any reference to the Bible in in the Constitution, can you identify specifics?
