I have heard allot of people claiming that no one who gets paid to work
is a slave, and in fact I once heard an egyptologist claim that
he had disprove the Bible because he had evidence that the workers got
paid to
build the pyramids. This idea is totally crazy! Slaves are people
and
people need food. Slaves who have no food don't live very long. Slavery
isn't
about not getting paid, slavery is about whether or not you have the
right
to tell your boss to take his job and shove it. Slaves are stuck with
the
same boss until someone dies or the boss sells the slave, no matter how
good
or how bad the slave is treated.
Slavery sticks (Yes it still stinks because it is still going on,
most especially in Africa.)
I however am not surprised people
are trying to grasp at straws to try to "prove" the Bible wrong though.
People have been doing that for ages. I once heard of a professor
who said the Bible was wrong because Moses could not have written
anything, this is just silly, he was raised by the Pharaoh's
daughter, that made
him royalty and thus he would have received the best education
available. According to the New Ungers's Bible Dictionary Moses
was born around 1520 B.C. which was about 275 years after
Hammurabi began his reign. If Hammurabi was able to write a legal code
in Mesopotamia 275 years earlier, the Pharaoh would certainly had
access to writers. And besides that evidence that slaves got a jug of
beer and a loaf of bread a day amounts to proof of writing as
well. |
