its not a myth, there is some evidence of a world wide flood, example, sea fossils, on tops of mountains, whales fossels in deserts.
but of course you will discount that.
Unless his master married him off of course in which case he can hold the wife and child to ransom and have a slave for life.
Plus a bit of rumpy pumpy can always keep them in check:
Regardless of how you sugar coat things being "different back then" there is no way that treating a person like this could be deemed morally sound:
Remember the Bible, being the word of an omnipotent god should he not, being of course all knowing of the future, be teaching his flock of the error of their ways?

Ah - obfuscation at its finest.
Is this still moral?
(Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

comparing to the new testament and Jesus new commandments, no its not moral.
Where in the new testament is slavery forbidden?
Where is the beating of slaves so readily promoted in the old testament amended?
If god is against slavery why did he not say so from the outset?

You woolly-minded lefty, you. Do you mean it was the good slavery?

your twisting it a bit there, beating of slaves was not promoted.
its was different times in them days, your talking about thousands of years ago, God had to deal whith a rough bunch, rough times, even the jews ended up slaves for over four hundred years, in egypt.
i dont know any where in new testament its forbidden, but Jesus commandments in love your neighbor as your self , rules slavery out.
If God is omnipotent - time is irrelevant.
He's supposed to be an all powerful deity FFS. He did a pretty good job of wiping out other people that disagreed with his point of view.
And Apparently were saved. The old testament clearly says that slavery can go on indefinitely.
No it doesn't. In fact the new testament is rather specific.
(Luke 12:47)
Servants are not owned either, but slaves are - so don't go down that path.
"Slaughtered all the people in the world" not a myth, you claim.
So ALL the people in the world after the flood are descendants of Noah.
H'mmm, a bit far-fetched, as fairy-tales go.
Utter nonsense.
For many religious people, morality and religion are the same or inseparable; for them either morality is part of religion or their religion is their morality
Judeo Christian arithmetic is a little sketchy at the best of times.
And for the free of mind, morality is not beholden upon religion. Quite the opposite in fact.
