Here are all the things found regarding slavery in the Book of Leviticus:
Leviticus 19:20 (Whole Chapter)
" 'If a man sleeps with a woman who is a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.
Leviticus 22:11 (Whole Chapter)
But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
Leviticus 25:39 (Whole Chapter)
" 'If one of your countrymen becomes poor among you and sells himself to you, do not make him work as a slave.
Leviticus 25:42 (Whole Chapter)
Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves.
Leviticus 25:44 (Whole Chapter)
" 'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.
Leviticus 25:46 (Whole Chapter)
You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
Leviticus 26:13 (Whole Chapter)
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
Wow, huh? So yeah, you can have slaves, they just can't be from your own nation. I know I wouldn't worship this God . . . So I guess I better hope Christians are wrong. I'm Atheist kinda, but I do believe in a "higher power", just not the Christians' version.
Heck, the Book of Leviticus is my Holy Grail against Christianity; it shows the hypocracy of the Bible in its fullest and most potent form. If you're gay, you get executed and go to Hell. If you're a prostitute, you get executed and go to Hell. If you sleep with a woman while she's on her period . . . you get executed and go to Hell. Okay, not really (not in all cases), but that's the jist of it all.

I like how you question the integrity of scripture because it conflicts with your worldview. I also like how every thread you post in manages to derail into some rant about your delusions of persecution. If a religious person ever was as obnoxious and inane about homosexuals as you are about them, you'd be screaming bloody murder. You whine about being called a sinner and yet the bible calls all men sinners. You condemn the entirety of the religious right as intolerant bigots and haters. You have become that which you loathe. I hope you're proud of yourself.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
