Is slavery evil? Or is it the people who are evil. The bible points out that there are times when a person will want to be a slave of a good owner. How can an entity of employment be in itself evil?

We look at labor as something we sell for goods returned, in modern society that is money, but throughout history men have swapped their labor for goods. l

Have you ever read the story of Ben Hur? There is precedence for benevolent slavery, or else God would not allow for those who wanted to be owned by a good person.

We are all slaves to the government—if not now, when Obama is done with us.
