Either morality is absolute or it isnt.

All train compartments smell vaguely of shite. It gets so you don't mind it. That's the worst thing that I can confess. You know how long it took me to get there? A long time. When you die you're going to regret the things you don't do. You think you're queer? I'm going to tell you something: we're all queer. You think you're a thief? So what? You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheat on your wife? You did it, live with it. You frick little girls, so be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, go ahead, be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it. That's me. - RR

First, there is zero historical evidence of this. Most biblical scholars consider it allegorical.

Been through this. Again, if one has to be dishonest to make his case, then his case isn't really grounds to stand on.

Next, Most do not consider it allegorical. Again, why lie?

So because he is not recorded as condemning slavery or the treatment of women means he was OK with it? Is that where you're going with this?

He does not understand this...

Jesus actively endorsed OT morality...

Really? Quote?

That's what's great about science. What we believe today will be scoffed at this time in 3014.

Yet you make fun of the people that doubt you today.

The thing about people like Roger is, they are trying to explain a Spiritual book through a humanistic point of view.

---

He doesnt read it in its historical context, he reads it to pick at it based on his faith in science, and our current economic destructiveness

The guy would not have a pot to piss in, if not for car loans, mortgages, credit cards, student loans. Which is an historical anomaly. He would be an indentured servant praying that the family he worked for follows the tenants laid out in the Bible that allowed for his freedom. The first law governing indentured apprentises didnt pass until 1911.

But, "slavery is a Christian problem" - Roger

I read in, many times, in my years as a christian. I read it for the same reason you do now.

And if the bible only endorsed indentured servitude, you'd have a point.

Never said that.

Because there is no evidence, and most biblical scholars do consider it allegorical. Many biblical scholars are not even jewish/christian.

As has been revealed in the past, you dont understand the difference between a biblical scholar and a theologian

There is no evidence supporting the Exodus narrative. Using that logic, there is "evidence" of elves and Middle Earth.

Unless we count faked images of immaculately preserved chariot wheels and a small writing sample used by Christians who don't know what poetry is, no.
