In article <1992Nov20.213528.764@wetware.com> drieux@wetware.com (drieux,  
just drieux) proclaims that Petey (NOTE: the spelling is a personal thing,  
I think it has to do with the languages one learned and/or heard as a  
child, rather than geography/SAT scores, but that's just me.............)   
is antiBibile because he spouts Alan Keyes. Much as it pains me, I must  
disagree with MAster Drieux on this point. Petey's souting proves notyhing  
vis-a-vis his AntiBible stance, it merely confirms that he is a bit of a  
conservative bonehead. But I digress...........:

eeek. I am placed in an uncomfortable position, much like that occupied by  
andre the giant in the 'princess bride', who was forced to tell his boss  
(the big baddie) that one of his words did not mean what he thought it  
meant. Though the word "slave" and "slavery" do occur in the Five Books of  
Moses  as well as the NT, there is a difference between what it meant  
THEN, and what it means now (although there was some overlap, as in the  
sojourn in Egypt, wherein conditions of slavery were very much like they  
are today. The Bible does, however, condemn THAT sort of slavery, tho, so  
the point is moot). The duties of the master towards a slave were much  
more strictly defined during that time, as were the legal protections of   
the rights of the slave (as opposed to the modern conception of slavery,  
which is closer to the Egyptian model, as noted above). Slavery as we tend  
to conceive of it (as it was in the good ol' US of A) is most emphatically  
NOT what was meant by the slavery which was approved of in yon Bible. 
In any event, could we stipulate that Petey could possibly have a point  
here (other than the one on the top of his pin-head), that to be against  
slavery in it's modern form is not necessarily to be a  
SexularHumanistStoogeoftheZionistImperialistBankingClass?

Note: none of the above implies any sort of endorsement of either Petey,  
his positions, or of Paul and his positions. Paul always struck me as an  
odd sort for a saint, but then, I'm not in charge of the calendar, so I  
guess I can't kvetch.............................................

ciao

ps. I do not feel the need to be saved. Or to repent, for that matter.  
When the time comes, I'll just lay my cards on the table, and invite the  
Big Guy to do likewise. I'll even cut him a deal, i'll forgive Him His if  
He forgives me mine. I figure we'll be even.

But I , of course, digress............
