I don't think a system of morality cobbled together from an out-of-date book can possibly compete with a coherent philosophy. It seems like Christians always have to make excuses for trifling matters (like slavery) in their book when in a more logical approach answers are much more intuitive.

Read Locke on slavery if you get a chance. His arguments always rest first on logic and then on scripture. See how well the slavery one stands up. Or just guess; I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.
Was there an argument mixed in there? Quit making broad and baseless ad homs, belverron. Remember: I know where you live.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
