Hey Buz.
As you people well know, nobody's advocating slavery or spinning from whole cloth. You just see it as a personal cheap shot.
The shot would be cheap if we didn't have all of your own words to bludgeon (we are talking about the bible, after all) you with. You say here that no one's advocating slavery, but I'd assert that it's part and parcel with your desire to return to biblical morality as you stated to Flyer75.

Yes, I agree that things [in the present] won't change. Being a Biblical prophecy buff, imo, it will change when king Jesus's 2nd advent revolutionizes the planet for the good, albeit things will continue to worsen dramatically and rather suddenly in the transition.
So heaven = the morality of biblical times. Woohoo! Since you're (I'm assuming
) a white male, how many 'o them darkies you gwinta have working your 8 hectares whilst Mrs. Buz cools her pies on your ethereal windowsill? 6000 years of "civilization" can't be wrong, correct?
I wonder if all the races who've been oppressed in all of history and who also just happen to have a ticket to heaven know what they're in for ...
In all seriousness, Buz, I'm sorry but I agree with Coyote as well. You really have no idea how much you're damaging your own faith when you post the things you do. Does it not matter to you?
Have a good one.
