1.In the U.S. it is wrong since it is against our Constitution. Why is it not wrong in other countries? If there laws allow it, that is what makes it right. 2. No one has been able to show me from the Bible where God says it is unlawful or lawful to have slaves. Therefore I can have my own opinion.
Why does our constitution say it is wrong to have slaves? All the founders of the country were nominal Christians. Why was it OK then and wrong now?
Let me make sure I have you right here. Slavery is wrong because we prohibit it and only because of that. We didn't prohibit it because it was wrong and it was not wrong until we prohibited it.
I read things like this and chuckle at having so often been told on these threads that agnostic materialists like myself have no moral compass.
You said "I don't consider it wrong to have slaves"
"You" and not others.
"You" and not the government.
Why do -you- not consider it wrong to have slaves?
I'm glad you acknowledge that your support of slavery is not based on your religious views.
