"The whole Bible was written by slave owners, and for slave owners. There
is no hint of criticism of slavery anywhere in that book. Jesus made no
objection to mistreatment of slaves. He indicated that selling of debtors
into slavery would be continued his forthcoming kingdom of heaven as well
as masters having the right to beat their slaves and put them to torture."
[Merrill Holste, "Slavery and the Bible", article in
the May 1986 issue of American Atheist Magazine]-
@fortune TBH in certain conditions, selling a debtor into slavery is reasonable. Some people abuse legal protections to avoid paying off their debts even when they could.
