But you just said you were okay with it if he did it, which essentially makes your judgments on morality entirely compromised, if you think that forced child marriages are okay as long as the father is alright with it.
And about slavery, you were kinda evasive there: are you okay with slavery as it's described in the bible? And by that I mean this:
Quote: However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
And I mean this:
Quote: 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)
Before you go the lazy apologetics route and try to tell us that all those verses don't exist and that the bible only says this:
Quote: If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years.
Because there's a rest of that paragraph too, and also I don't want to hear any crap about how that's Old Testament and doesn't apply, because the New Testament says this:
Quote: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
So, now we don't have to waste time dealing with the usual lies, let's get to the truth: slavery as described in the bible, where you can own people from other nations, buy people as property, beat them, pass them on to your children, and own children yourself: is it okay with you?
