Actually I have read it,where do you think I got that from?
It is a fact, that NO WHERE in the bible (find it if you can) does god say owning another human is wrong. Show me 1 place where Jesus speaks out about owning another human?
You cant because they don't exist.But lets see this awesome treatment of slaves:
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)
This is moron humans speaking, not an ALL KNOWING GOD. A GOD would have KNOWN about the effects of blunt force trauma and the ability to kill them days later. I guess god didn't foresee CSI and modern science. Convenient isnt it?
Claiming my ignorance when you are the one that has a problem with facts, shows you havent read your own book. I have several times. It led me to believe there was no god based on the lack of evidence. And if this is the only god around, then ya he is a douche.

In fact, the Lord didn't promote slavery, if you look at the passages, He was just setting up rules to be more fair to the slaves. Its humans who actually were doing the slavery!
Oh okay so lets own people because god gives us rules and guidelines that makes it better for them. MORON OWNING PEOPLE IS WRONG GOD SHOULD KNOW THAT BRA.

And when Jesus came, he actually came to free us from the slavery and bondage of sin!
Ah but his only gift is eternal slavery of another kind. Slavery to a celestial dictator that will punish you for FOR ALL TIMES for the simple crime of.. wait for it NOT BELIEVING HE EXISTS BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE and not believing the HEARSAY! lol
I like this guy already. /sarcasm
Read the book without your jesus glasses on and maybe you will see it the way I do.
Your god is jealous - a PETTY HUMAN EMOTION - something us pathetic humans can get over, but HE CANT! Perfect being there...
Your god orders Genocide - do I have to get the verses for you?
Your god orders the murder of women and children - see above
And you seem to think this is a being worth worship? And *I* am the ignorant one? Lolz
But we can just end it quickly and say nothing in your book proves god exists. It makes the claim there is a god, but has no evidence to support the claim.
EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS DEMAND EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE.
Bring forth your evidence:
Not testimony,
Not anecdotal,
Not hearsay,
Not intelligent design - proven false
Not because you 'feel' it - we can do this with magnets please google 'God hat'
Nothing that can ALSO be used to prove the existence of Zues, Wotan, Thor, Apollo, Fairies, Leprechauns, or unicorns.
Good luck.
