It fails too because it is based on a current moral standard.which slavery belongs to as opposed to a moral standard that concerned itself with treatment.

This has been explained numerous times and yet certain people insist paradoxically that the Bible cannot serve as their moral guide while at the same time making layer moral standard retroactively obligatory.

We get it. Slavery sucked and it was way better to not be one and God should have condemned when he had the chance since it makes white dudes so angry in the 21st century.

I find this post interesting, as I had not realised that you were one of the rare breed of religious/theist who don't promote the concept of an absolute or objective morality.

Most theists subscribe to the camp of an objective morality which is fixed, God given and endures throughout history and into the modern day.

You don't realize this because you neither care to know or care to remember all of the silly debates had over it.

You will make this statement again sooner than later.

The fact that there are people whining on the internet about another person's religious beliefs based on history from thousands of years ago is automatic verification that people and times have different moral standards and theophobiacs simply try to merge them.

Not all moral standards are equal and some are longer lasting.

My primary moral standard is Christian. All other ones are subservient or not honored if in conflict with it.

Most people, including religious ones, are fully aware that there are differing moral standards and adhere to multiple ones since not one of them covers everything.
