Slavery: Christian Excuses

....What the Christian is saying, is that God's permissive will allowed for less than perfect standards in the Old Testament......

You could not have put it better."God's permissive will" is not the source of our moral standards. We have better moral standards than your god.Morality doesn't come from your god. It comes from society.Edited by Pressie, : Wrong quote function

I read until here. This sentence made me realize that you are so deluded tthat there's no way of even trying to have a rational conversation with you.Stop telling untruths. There's no empirical, verifiable evidence that such a flood ever occurred. You repeating your belief in such a flood won't turn your beliefs into the truth.

Yet you have sinned.

I don’t have sins.The rest is a long word salad to try and hide the fact that we don’t get our moral values from your holy book claiming that it is the word of your chosen god, amongst all the other books who each claims to be "the word of god".

In reality your morals might allow you to have sex with many women, perhaps cause an abortion, or a single-parent, after all, look at society today -

Speak for yourself. I don't do what you accuse me of doing, because I don't get my morals from a book that encourages slavery.If your moral values are so questionable, don't reflect your lack of moral values on other people.

Even Muslims, seeks, Budhists, etc....come under "atheist" to us, because they are in the same position as the atheist,....

Get an education on what an atheist is. On second thoughts.. just get an education.

... according to scripture.

And according to Muslim scripture, the Quran (Muslims believe it is the Word of God), you are an "kafir". A non-believer. An infidel. The same as an atheist.Those old books support things like slavery. Modern societies don't get moral values from any of those books.
