Secular Sunday School: Jesus Freak makes Bibical slavery cartoon

The Old Testament is a goldmine for atheists. Whenever you hear Christians hold forth on how we would lose our morals if we didn't have the Bible, you can pull out one of the goodies from the 2,500 year old tome and watch the believer tie himself into knots trying to explain why that particular part of the Word of God can be safely ignored.

Of course, there are some brave Christians who are willing to stand up for the Old Testament morality. YouTuber Jesusfreak777 made a attempt to explain why slavery, as supported by the God of Abraham or Yahweh, was a good thing because the Israelites were 'spreading the word of God to the wicked.'

However, the Israelites were also on the receiving end of slavery. The Bible was written when the Babylonians defeated Israel and marched Israelites they captured into slavery in Babylon. Babylon is where the Jewish scribes wrote down their oral history we call the Old Testament today.

This animated version of his YouTube sermon was made by Panman38. The sound is speeded up, but otherwise, it is the original.
