Makes perfect sense.

You know, like how and where to buy them from, that you can pass them down to your kids, and that they can be your property for life.

That seems pretty "biblical"...with the whole God telling people how to own other people and all. 

I think the issue is taking thing that happened 4,000-6,000 years ago and applying them to today's society. There are a number of practices that can be found throughout history that are today considered barbaric or worse.

Who knows 6,000 years from now there will be a couple folks pointing finger at a Christian and stating "see what your god allowed back then, folks actually had to perform manual labor while their owner determined how much their service was worth."

Not sure how practices that happened in historic times can be used as ammunition to slight modern day Christianity; but it never stops folks from trying.
