You asked what do I say to those who think it is ok to enslave others, and my answer is to direct them to the gallows for HANGING. Is that really hard to understand?
The "stock-in-trade" was confusing me. I've just not seen that phrase before.

I think slavery should be a capitol offense, and I don't give a rat's ass what your scripture says or doesn't say about it.
Good for you. Others disagree. So who is right? How do you determine that?
That IS the why. If you can't understand that causing harm is a bad thing, I'm not wasting my time trying to discuss it further.
You're begging the question. Google the phrase if you need to understand the logical fallacy. I'm sorry if you've simply been presented with a topic you don't know how to answer. But you simply saying that something is bad does not mean that it's a universal standard.

To anyone with a modicum of morality, slavery is despicable, despite your evil god-thing giving it a pass.
Some people think it's perfectly fine. You are dodging the question.
You say it's because it causes harm? Why is that the standard? Don't just say it is. Explain WHY it is. Until you can do that, it's nothing but an opinion.
Because people do not like being hurt, and it is wrong for others to hurt you.
I really don't understand some people's thought processes.
Obviously.
I'm just asking someone to give me an explanation of why some things are immoral without giving an opinion. STILL waiting, as it's gone completely over the head of anyone that has attempted to on this thread.
