Do you understand any of the content and historical context of the 13th amendment?

Yet I still suffered through 18 years of involuntary servitude, backed by threats of violence and starvation.
I make no claims about your personal experiences. Maybe you were literally enslaved as a child. I don't know, and I suppose at some level don't care with regards to the argument you're making.
The argument presented thus far has the logical force of "I was abused as a kid, and my parents were Christian, so all religious parents abuse their children."
Or maybe you aren't actually trying to make a cogent argument at all, and you're just posturing because you're angry.
