   Why are more theists not owning slaves and killing them?   
      
   “And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die   
   under his hand; he shall be surely punished.  Notwithstanding, if he   
   continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his   
   money.” (Exodus 21:20-21 )   
      
   The moral of this story is that it's not only a fine thing to own slaves,   
   it's also fine to kill those slaves as long as you kill them slowly.   
      
   I'll tell you why - because their morality explicitly does NOT derive   
   from their Bible, and all Christians are hypocrites.  They preach one   
   thing - the Bible is god's word - and do another - like, whatever they   
   think they can get away with!
