Perhaps a few of you have noticed that there are many instances in the bible where God promotes slavery. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Luke, and Colossians all show verses where God is okay with man owning his fellow man as property. In Genesis he even goes over the logistics of buying and selling slaves. He said that the Israelites may not enslave their own people, but they are allowed to go to neighboring countries and take people and keep them for life as slaves and even pass them down to their children.
Now I realize that atleast one of you jackass Christians is going to see this and say "Oh, well that's old testement, so it doesn't count. The new testement is what you should be reading." My response to that anticipated statement is this.
If God is always right and never changes, then he still promotes slavery, and the new testement was written by man, so why would you take the word of man over the word of your God? Oh and one more thing. THE TEN ******** COMMANDMENTS ARE OLD TESTEMENT! So if the old testement doesn't count then that means that you don't have to follow the ten commandments. I would absolutely love to hear whatever bullshit you're about to say to me about this because I would love nothing more than to watch you try to explain this s**t and be at a loss.

I am not a Christian, just for the record. I am an atheist; however, this argument begs the question. If the Christian God is evil, then why does He allow good to exist in the world?
