The Bible is absolutely not up to interpretation regarding slavery. It is unambiguously pro-slavery.

It is? It may be clear I'm no theologian. Have you any verses off hand?

Edit: I went off and did some digging and it looks like you're more or less spot on. There are verses in various parts of the old testament that just accept slavery as a thing.

Some new testament bits are clearly anti-slavery though.

Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.

There is more than that. It tells you, in detail, how to beat your gentile slaves vs your Jewish slaves. And how you can fuck the wife of a dead slave (I might be forgetting the specifics of that one).

In the New Testament, Jesus tells slaves to obey their masters, even the shitty ones.

He (allegedly) existed in a culture steeped in slavery, and never once mentions that, I dunno, owning other humans as property is a bad thing.

Fuck all Abrahamic religions
