  • Have you read the Old Testament? Because god’s behavior in the OT directly contradicts those messages of love you’re referring to.

    And let’s remember that Jesus said that he did not come to abolish the law, and that not a single word of it will be changed (or something like that), so none of that “hurr durr its the new covenant” bullshit.

    Not only that, but the NT also contradicts itself as it explicitly advocates for slavery. Which is wholly incompatible with “love thy neighbor”. So which do you listen to? Can’t be both… What reason do you have to ignore the one thing and fixate on the other? How difficult would it have been for Jesus to have, just once, explicitly condemn slavery? One of the most abhorrent things a person could do to another person, and it was happening all around him, and yet he couldn’t just say it was bad?

    This is why slavers in the US were able to use the Bible to justify the practice.

    This is despicable shit, and nothing you say or do could ever convince me otherwise.
