Or are you saying it's ok for some cultures but not others?
I'm asking on what basis you can judge another culture's morality to be right or wrong. This isn't a new question and if you're going to argue for a locus of morality outside of religion, you should probably come up with an answer for it.

Common sense.
You're just being intentionally obtuse and it's pretty exhausting to tell you the truth.

Common sense isn't a serious answer. Are you saying there was no "common sense" in the US prior to the Emancipation Proclamation?
I'm trying to help you. Your thought system is pretty anemic at the moment. Beef it up.

he is probably correct.
I didn't say "right," but correct.

No, I'm saying people practiced slavery even though it was morally wrong.
This is a really simple concept.

I think the real point is that southerners are fundamentally immoral and it took the more enlightened and morally superior northerners to step in and attempt to save the souls of the misguided. It has been a slow process yet northerners still have hope for their slower southern brethren.

It's not nearly as simple as you think it is. But this is tRant, not Introduction to Epistemology. So rabble rabble, you suck and Manning is GOAT.

You never answered my question.
Why do you think slavery is immoral?

I think it's immoral because of many reasons.
But the chief reason for me is that because of the innate value of humans as created beings of the Divine, it violates our value to own others or be owned.

Then why does God condone slavery so much in the bible?

That's a good question. Ancient Greece had a democracy but only male land-owners had a vote. Where was the anti-slavery movement in Ancient Greece? Where was the women's suffrage movement in the Enlightenment? Was all of Ancient Greece immoral? Was the Enlightenment a farce because it didn't immediately push for equal rights for women?
You need to move a little deeper into the question, drop your anti-Bible focus and look at history on a little broader scale.

That you still haven't answered. You've used a lot of straw men though, case in point:

Wild guess but I'm thinking amongst the enslaved.
And you act like there weren't people against human bondage throughout history. Like when you said "did nobody have common sense before the Emancipation Proclamation?"
Ever heard of abolitionists? Underground Railroad ring any bells?

Yes, but where was the Underground Railroad in the Roman Empire? The Underground Railroad is part of the same moral impetus which brought about the Emancipation Proclamation. It wasn't 500 years before it. It was basically concurrent. Your thoughts on this are a mile wide and an inch deep.
