You also do not believe in miracles, and tell everyone the Bible is allegorical. So you also insult & mock most of the people who have ever lived over the last few thousand years, and the thousands that have posted to the Prayer Thread.
As their god is not your god, are you admitting YOU can NOT perceive their god, or that you CAN and are no longer a Pantheist?
Miracle" is a subjective term.
If one directs Positive Conscious*Energy, it could be of benefit...thus "The Power of Prayer".
Any and every God, even the concept of God, is part of what comprises ALL (God).
Thus, what I perceive as God to me: Any God Entity, any concepts of God, and anything & everything else.
I'm not the least bit surprised that it went right over your head.
Slavery is wrong. Period.
You wouldn't want if for yourself.
You wouldn't want it for your family members.
That's the very simple principle of The Golden Rule. Perhaps Alabama schools never taught that principle. Alabama lived slavery.
Btw, remember even the Southern Baptist church apologized for its historical position on slavery.

Certain forms of slavery exist today that for some reason you refuse to acknowledge as being slavery. You prefer to label them as something else.
Perhaps it's because you condone those forms of slavery, but don't want to lose your street cred with the cool crowd by using the word?
Therefore, you seem to limit the definition of "slavery" to something very narrow and specific.
I refuse to view the phenomenon of slavery so narrowly. I'd rather call a spade a spade.

Stop trying to make excuses for slavery.
As one of our moderators also pointed out to you, you know specially what we are talking about in this thread.
Stop trying to dilute the issue.
The "cool crowd". Yeah, at 72 I'm really into the "cool crowd".
Perhaps you mean the "moral crowd".
What is there about owning another person that you find acceptable?
An individual "owning" another individual as property is a form of slavery that is generally called "chattel slavery". I don't find that practice acceptable and have no idea why you think I would.

Slavery is one person owning another. I can only guess why you are trying to muddy the water with anything else.

I thought my reason was obvious from my entry post into this thread.
I find the hypocritical, self-righteous moralizing of the modern day Puritans to be quite entertaining, and I thought it might be amusing to call it out.
Diogenes knows what I'm talking about
I've had a bit of fun in this thread, so I have no regrets
