I believe that Jews and Christians point to the Book of Exodus.

Are you referring to the Israelites exodus from the slavery of Egypt? The Israelites could not have left Egypt without God's help and blessing. God allowed them to be held captive in slavery because of their disobedience to God.

God made men. Men made slaves.

Exactly right. And when we reveiw the history of man we see most of the time men have lived under tyranny and despots. God has allowed this to show men that they are incapable of governering in their own human wisdom.

Agreed. And that's why you need to support my effort to appoint Roger Clinton Supreme Generalissimo, Field Marshall and President-For-Life, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea. Contributions will be tax-deductible as soon as soon as He assumes the power to rule by decree.

I would suppose that this proves that General Sherman was God Almighty's terrible swift sword.

OH MY GOODNESS!

This is the exact sort of thinking that would have crowned King Rooney the First had the slave power been a bit more canny.
