Question about the Bible and Slavery... [View All]

I here a lot of people that talk about homosexuality being wrong because the bible says so.

For purposes of my question, I am going to assume or ignore a few things (but this is definitely up for you guys to discuss)...

- Let us ignore the fact that there is nothing in our laws or constitution that says all US citizens have to follow the bible.

- Let us assume the passages in the bible condemning homosexuality are accurate translations and not misinterpretations taken out of context, etc...

My question-

What does the bible say about slavery? Owning slaves? Treatment of slaves?

Obviously, the bible forbids slavery...

Right?

By the way, I would really like it if some of you could post quotes, links, or citations.
