The Old Testament is included in the bible in a historical context.

Ah, so you throw things out of context when it pleases you...
...such as disparaging comments about Christianity...
...yet at the same time you want to control how people respond to you...

Are you saying the Old Testament isn't the word of God to Christians? What about the 10 Commandments, just historical background for Christianity?

My statements were out of context really?
It was you who tried to lay "slavery on Christianity"...
...and it was you who took out of context what the bible has to say about slavery.
Such as forgetting that the Jewish people were slaves of the Egyptians.
As for me getting used to you trying to control any responses that disagree with your views? Naa, i won't let you try to control me or my responses.
Leviticus 25:44
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids
Leviticus 25:45
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession
Leviticus 25:46
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour

So ignore what's written and put your own meaning to it?
How clear can it get? This...
Leviticus 25:44
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids
Leviticus 25:45
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession
Leviticus 25:46
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour
...is about slavery. Only a blind man would argue otherwise.
Let me ask. Which bible version would you prefer? Just so I can get the relevant translations about slavery.

I just showed you parts of the New Testament that are ok with slavery. Are you just going to pretend they don't exist?
Bit hypocritical to ignore parts of your special book, isn't it?
It's starting to look like an atheist knows more about your book than you do. HILARIOUS!

Oooooh. So it's ok because it was done at the time?
My your god is special. Swaps and changes with what man thinks is right. I wonder why that could be.

Excuse me...where did I say it was okay?... Twisting again what people say because they are not atheists like yourself?
I am not condoning slavery, but stating the facts about those times.
