Why do you suppose Jesus never condemned slavery?

Wow...

...almost two and a half years dead...

...and right back to life.


Still a good question, though.

Why didn't Jesus condemn slavery????

Well, It has something to do with jesus being the only begotten son of several different gods (also known as multi-paternalism) rendering him somewhat confused as to which of his father/gods he was supposed to listen to. Apparently he was also busy trysting with the mary chick so he may not have kept his mind clear.

It's probably already been said but....

Maybe it was on his "to-do" list ?

..before the Romans got in the way....?

Or maybe he knew there was a lot of good to come out of the American Civil War, and slavery was kinda needed for that to happen so.....

Well yeah, of course.

I'm with you on Jesus.

The guy (or whoever) had some great ideas but he didn't know everything. Abolishing slavery would have seemed a weird idea at the time, I expect.
