Show me someone who believes a sky fairy created everything and I will show you a stupid fool. :/
I have shown you do not know what a season is... and yet you call me a fool.... sighh..... You atheists are beyond reasoning.
I like you either way.
Lies. When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
If you kill the slave you are indeed punished however you free to have slaves and to beat them almost to death.

You were tutored many times......... And you still do not get it you just come again and again to the same arguments that had been refuted.
Argumentum ad ignorantum - apealing to the ignorance of your audience is all you can do.
It's not an argument, it's a quote from the bible, there isn't much to refute, the bible is full of things like that yet you still believe it and even defend it and because of that you have to deny evolution.
There are some things in our law - that you could find even more shocking. Sometimes in some states you can kill a trespasser in your land. Does that mean that you can kill? No. It is a law that makes people scared to go into others property. That law was to scare people away from becoming a slave ok? Because there are a lot of people back then as it is now that they would want others to think for them. Many people would not mind the life of a slave... wait they do not... because they are virtually identical as the slave. They do everything they are told to.
Really? It was a law to scare people away from becoming a slave? Many people would not mind being a slave? Beaten any time the owner wants? Are you mentally insane? God simply could have made a law to prevent anyone to enslave someone else.
You need to know some intelectual rigour in order to understand a complicated concept. You need to know the other passages, and you need to know the context, you need to know that the law is the law of the angels, that the law is not the eternal - using words of the Paul. You must know that the law was the emergency. You need to know a lot more things before you assume that God is behind the slavery.
He temporarly allowed it because there was no other way around it not causing many unnecesary deaths.
He killed basically everyone with the flood and many others, were those necessary deaths?
There had to be the change with the level of buerocracy we have to make slavery obsolete. You need to understand many historical and political concepts before you say - hey.... 3500 years ago it was possible not to have slavery. It was not possible ok?
God was doing everything in the Bible to stop slavery because it is ujust, but in that time, it was to early to have an option of a volountary contract and how to keep it in law. Serfs in the middle ages were defacto slaves, as many debters are defacto slaves. There is a lot of legal fiction for a people to misrepresent the reality.
I know many people are enchanting reality with words calling things what its not and can't be. If I would call a woman, to be a man, because she wants so, it will not make her one.
If you think many people that are living with the people they do not want to and working for the people they do not want to - because they have nowhere to go - are not slaves, then you are deluded.
The tenth commandment implies a free person should have his house and his method of transport and of work, and a wife to be sustainable with his physiological needs and desires like a desire for a shelter, sexual desires and food. And not to envy another - because having that is normal and everyone should have such. Everyone should have an option to be free. But sometimes because of many sins people were and are not free ok? And that is why there were passages about people that are not free because poverty can lead to some kind of slavery or even worse things.
Many people nowadays are deluded that there are no slaves. There are plenty. They are just not called that. And you say that you despise people from as far as 3500 years ago... When that was clearly a temporal law for their period.....
About the rape - There is no mention in the King James Version. And you have no idea how important for the society was lack of argue about women. There were a lot of wars over a women in the history ok? Harsh law is needed for unjust and unruly people.
And the affairs need to be dealt swiftly as well as rape - because it might have led to a war. You make complicated matters of political and social life of 3500 years ago simple. It was far from simple ok?
God can create the universe and yet he can't prevent humans from enslaving other humans, your logic is absolutely amazing.
I tried... Kalvinism have killed your soul. God is not the God of Kalvin. You simply cannot grasp the open theism God. You simply do not want to. You have your own vision what God should do to be God... That is just childish...
It is childish to presume the kalvinistic standards and saying - hah you see? God is not kalvinistic that is why he does not exist..... I never said he was - it is you imply that...... and yet you say to me - you see? No kalvinistic God... Yeah... You proved my point that kalvinism is silly - you cannot put those standards upon the Bible and make sense. God exist but does not have a kalvinistic characteristic of a master of puppets.
You imply - he is not a master of puppets therefore he is not God. Why? He is simply not a master of puppets. Thats all.
Probably he could. But he wills otherwise. Or maybe like all other kalvinist or catholic you will tell God what he need to want huh? He is a sovereign. You seem to not like that premise.
I know you are self proclaimed atheist not a kalvinist, but I would bet you had been influenced by them. Kalvinists have produced more atheist than the atheists themselves.
P.S. Am I insane about people wanting to be slaves? There are a looooot of a very good historic piece of work that shown how nigros were a loooooooooot worse not being slaves after the abolition. They would rather want to be slaves. I am not defending slavery by no means, but the reality is not simple, especially when it come to history. I guess historians are mad as well. The only ones that are not mad are the hollywood producers - they are the pillars of sanity I guess.
When someone have their world view based on hollywood movies he is likely to be luciferian coated as atheists. You need from time to time to read some valuable books.
