Slavery in the bible - a response to Epydemic2020

This is a response to Epydemic2020's video entitled "Slavery in the bible:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtOI6OKXTlo

Although his video is approximately two years old, I have selected it for two reasons. First, of all of the videos I've seen justifying slavery in the bible, this one probably makes the most extreme claims. And secondly, since I have already responded to one of Epydemic's video's on morality, I thought I would continue my discussion with him.

I apologize for the length of this video. Believe it or not, I actually had to trim quite a lot of stuff to even get it down to 15 minutes.

@galerouth I seen that video series. Its nothing. In fact, Its been long refuted. Theres a good response video destroying it. It reminds me of the movie Zeitgiest full of exaggerations, false assumptions and easily refutable inaccuracies.

@ahmalala

the judeo-christian god is a myth and historical evidence proves it.

if your god were real and just ---he wouldn't allow slavery.

@TheNakedAtheist When I see these kinds of bending, justifications, excuses and reinterpretations of the Bible qoutes, I see how more free we atheists are. If the two atheists were to have some argument (about abortion, wars, situational ethics, whatever), they would be free to eventually say "you know, I was wrong, you provided good arguments and I change my opinion". But Christians are prisoners of their Bible and they have to adjust their opinions to match it's content. Pity.

All ancient societies almost universally had slaves, the Bible is the only scripture which leads to the total abolishment of slavery over time and equal rights, but biased athiest will always see only what they want to see instead of taking the scripture as a whole.

Galatians 3:28

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

@Creationcreed "Refute that God doesn't exist" means "prove that God exists". Clearly you meant the opposite. And the purpose the video isn't to show God doesn't exist (which is impossible). And how can you assume that God is morally perfect? And if God is unchanging, why would he apparently change his rules?
