" If you think that the Bible outlaws slavery, I would like to know where it says so." Exodus 20:15 "Thou shalt not steal."

You gotta be joking. Try this: Colossians 3:22 "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord." Also, check out Titus 3:9

Nope. Though shalt not steal governs the right and wrong of slavery. No one may own, or userp the sovereignty of another's will. Cain did that and the Egypitans did it to the Israelites.

"Try this: Colossians 3:22 "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord."

Just as Moses gave you the divorce laws out of the hardness of your hearts, Paul gave you that command for the very same reason.

" Also, check out Titus 3:9"

I refer you to God's exposition on the 7 woes in Matt 23. God's word is the foundation and the guide, not Paul's. It starts out with:
Matt 23:1-4 "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

Don't argue with these God-hating liars. They claim that evolution has nothing to do with belief in God, then they proceed to bash Christianity in the very same thread. They never miss the opportunity. Don't cast your pearls to swine.
