"...slavery is absolutely wrong."

Funny, this is not stated anywhere in the Bible.

And because of this, even today many ardent believers still cannot bring themselves to condemn slavery.

Even here on FR. Last October, a poster wrote "My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves."

I would hate to try and defend that position. You aren't defending it, like this previous poster, are you?

This sounds a bit like "It's not wrong to have a car; is it?"

When you STEAL another person car; it is.

When you go to the lot and BUY one, it isn't. I imagine it's the same with 'slavery'.

INDIANA is fixing to sell a toll road 'into slavery' for 75 years. We (the state coffers) will get 3.75 BILLION dollars, up front, and this foreign consourcium will get the money from the road.

In the past, one could sell themselves into 'slavery' if they wished.

Today, we do almost the same, get paid weekly (weakly?) or whatever.

SALARY = paid in salt; worth their salt, etc.
