Why do athiests say it's always wrong to ensIave chiIdren of foreigners?

"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

obviously it's not ALWAYS wrong to ensIave chiIdren of foreigners, because God once said that it's okay to do such thing.

Athiest just hate God so they close there eyes to proof in the Bible.

    firstly, realise that you're reading a passage from the bible that talks about god telling ONE man what that ONE man could do, not the entire world and their kids.

    secondly, if you take the bible literally (which is was never meant for), then i'm sorry, but you really should go and live in a creationist community out in the woods somewhere where nobody can find you and where you can't reek your havoc upon the world.

    thirdly, if you believe it's ok to enslave people/children of any kind, then you ought to be in prison.

    This is a reference to law not the actual word of God. It's in reference to who someone could take as a slave and who couldn't. If you read the rest of the Book of Leviticuz you would know that it was written Hebrew law. Taking one Biblical reference out of context is hardly a way to discredit religion as a whole.

    If your quotation is accurate, it validates the atheist belief that "God" was created, not only in the image of man, but according to the interests of the men who wrote the so-called "Word of God" - be that the Bible or the Koran.

    Come on guy, even the main hectic middle fundies forget approximately approximately leviticus, different than the only approximately homosexuality of direction. the assumption is that Jesus freed us from the previous rules and now we live in grace. thinking Christians save on with Jesus, no longer Moses, no longer Paul, Jesus. And in case you get a pink letter bible and study only the certainly words of Jesus you in all probability won't discover it grotesque. that is all the different jerks that ruined his message.

    Oh, right. We atheists just forgot that God said it was okay. (cough)
