"pesticide labels don't provide instructions on how to properly ingest their products." They also don't provide instructions that people should ingest their products, but the Bible provides instructions that people should own slaves.
"God's prescription of how something should go is not endorsement of the thing itself." It is condoning the behavior, but in fact, God COMMANDS chattel slavery, and that is endorsement.
I'm pretty sure most pesticide labels included instructions NOT to ingest them. So, you have yet to deal with the fact that the Bible never commands people NOT to own slaves. In fact, it commands people TO own slaves.
"When you guys have slaves, you're going to treat them well." Nope. That's another lie. Exodus 21 states that slave masters can beat their slaves nearly to death, and Leviticus 25 states that they can abuse their non-Hebrew slaves even more harshly. If you have to lie to defend your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs.
"That elevation of human rights is still at play with Hebrew slaves or with foreign slaves." Nope. More lies. Non-Hebrew slaves had no rights or protections. Every verse which explicitly references non-Hebrew slaves does so in order to deny them rights and protections afforded to Hebrew slaves. If you have to lie to protect your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs.
"They are paid for their work, and they are paid for their medical expenses." Nope. More lies. Nothing in the Bible says they are paid for their work. If you have to lie to protect your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs.
"Those slaves can become a part of Israel." Not a single verse says this, liar. Exodus 12 is referring to free foreign residents, not chattel slaves. and it goes no further than saying that they can share the Passover meal if they have been circumcised. Lie, lie, lie....if you have to lie to protect your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs.
More lies. The provision against kidnapping applied only to fellow Hebrews. 1. Exodus 21 only pertains to how Hebrews should treat other Hebrews. 2. Verse 2 explicitly excludes non-Hebrew slaves from the regulations in Exodus 21. 3. Deuteronomy 24:7 clarifies that this applied only to Hebrews. 4. The Old Testament is full of examples of Hebrews kidnapping and enslaving non-Hebrews, such as in Deuteronomy 20. If you have to lie to defend your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs.
So many lies in this video. Here's the truth. The Bible condones and promotes chattel slavery. Chattel slavery is defined as "the enslaving and owning of human beings and their offspring as property, able to be bought, sold, and forced to work. Another definition is: "The condition in which one person is owned as property by another and is under the owner's control, especially in involuntary servitude." Leviticus 25 explicitly describes and condones chattel slavery. "44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour." Under Mosaic law, foreign slaves were chattel slaves. They could be bought, sold, separated from their families, beaten, raped, killed, kept for life, and passed down as inherited property. Every specific reference to foreign slaves in the Bible is to deny them rights and protections afforded to Hebrew slaves. The treatment of foreign slaves was every bit as bad, or worse, than slavery in the Antebellum south.

"God doesn't say explicitly 'thou shalt not [own slaves]"
The problem, child, is that God says explicitly "THOU SHALT [own slaves]".
"after six years [slaves who convert] are let go again."
Lie, lie, lie...

"This doesn't say that they can't be freed."
Therefore what, child? Slaves in the Antebellum South could also be freed.
"When you guys have slaves, you're going to treat them well."
Nope. That's another lie. Exodus 21 states that slave masters can beat their slaves nearly to death, and Leviticus 25 states that they can abuse their non-Hebrew slaves even more harshly.
