You apparently don't understand that chattel slavery isn't the only form of slavery. My point is, there are many kinds of
actual slavery. And, yes, being forced to pick up trash by penalty of going to jail
is a
type of slavery.

Can we agree that slavery is wrong? Or do you think it's an okay thing for one human to own another?
Chattel slavery (i.e. one person owning another person) is forbidden in Scripture. Being forced to work to pay off a debt is not categorically forbidden in Scripture, for example.

So? What has that got to do with price of tea in China?
Quote:
I'll say it: slavery is wrong. And I don't care who hears me say it. It's a moral wrong and you can argue objectivity over subjectivity until you're blue in the face. It's just wrong. Do you disagree with that?
So, is it your position that your belief that "slavery is wrong" is not merely your opinion, but that it corresponds to an actual state-of-affairs? If so, then by what putative objective, universal, infallible, and knowable standard is slavery "wrong."

You lord and savior never said so. He even had advice for the treatment of slaves and how they should act. What a supreme d*ck. And you worship this sh*thead? No thanks.
Typical thoughtful response. I would encourage you to
reason more, and
emote less.
Have a good night!
