Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

The issue here is that there’s a lot of room for interpretation. Slavers used the bible as defence for their actions.
The Bible is absolutely not up to interpretation regarding slavery. It is unambiguously pro-slavery.
It is? It may be clear I’m no theologian. Have you any verses off hand?
Edit: I went off and did some digging and it looks like you’re more or less spot on. There are verses in various parts of the old testament that just accept slavery as a thing.
Some new testament bits are clearly anti-slavery though.
There is more than that. It tells you, in detail, how to beat your gentile slaves vs your Jewish slaves. And how you can fuck the wife of a dead slave (I might be forgetting the specifics of that one).
In the New Testament, Jesus tells slaves to obey their masters, even the shitty ones.
He (allegedly) existed in a culture steeped in slavery, and never once mentions that, I dunno, owning other humans as property is a bad thing.
Fuck all Abrahamic religions
