Are you saying you don't believe the Old Testament which describes slavery?
There is real fantasy in Revelations but the Torah clearly describes the
practice of slavery and the release of slaves. There is much truth in the
Bible and you can rely on the sources of Rabbinical literature for an
accurate description also but I can see you are not interested in truth. I
think you are here to troll. As a matter of fact you are either here to
troll or you are mentally disturbed. Anyone who claims to be the "voice of
god" is without a doubt a crackpot.
Its been fun but I must admit a waste of time reading your nonsense. You
obviously have delusions about yourself also. If you are not a troll, you
need help. You should talk to your doctor about upping your medication.
