Bible+Slavery

Slavery has got to be one of the most immoral things a person can do. Yet slavery is rampant throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. The Bible clearly approves of slavery in many passages, and it goes so far as to tell how to obtain slaves, how hard you can beat them, and when you can have sex with the female slaves. Many slaves may have worked as household servants, that doesn't mean that they were not slaves who were bought, sold, and treated worse than livestock. Male Israelite slaves were to be offered release after six years of service, with some stipulations. In the Ancient Near East, captives obtained through warfare were often compelled to become slaves. Bible slavery consists of various types of slavery.They made the slaves work up to 48 hours at a time without food, water and rest. When they were done for the day they would sleep in shabby huts that could barely stand on their own foundation.  media type="youtube" key="W-4zv1zagNE" height="283" width="504" align="center"

In the Holy Bible there is still a vast amount of topics throughout it that discusses slavery and why they condone what was happening.
