Yes, i know most people won't watch the video.
But if you're a christian and you've only ever heard that slavery in the bible wasn't really slavery and wasn't so bad anyway, you might be interested in checking this out.
Enjoy!

That card game is brilliant, I want it so bad.

@2:06 On the other hand, when someone begins the argument with "slavery is different in the bible than how it was in America" we know it's going to be a crap argument.

As long as there was a "thou shall not steal" but no "thou shall not enslave" it's pretty clear that god approved of it. The person in the video is essentially trying to take off responsibility by giving plausible deniability, a tactic seen in politicians. It's saying that god does not outright say slavery is OK but merely regulated it.

It's kind of like saying you peddle cocaine on the streets but when it gets into the hands of little kids you're not responsible.

lol it does look fun.

Yeah he's pretty disingenuous the whole way through.
Quote mining the bible to make it appear that all slavery had certain rules rather than one set of rules for Hebrew slaves and a much harsher set for foreign slaves.
