Because slavery is condoned in the bible. LEST WE FORGET.

EA Miller EA Miller Christians often claim that the bible is the “undeniable” word of god. Yet their book is filled with numerous contradictions and words that were obviously crafted by men of the Bronze Age to favor them specifically.

EA Miller EA Miller Next time you hear someone say "That is the work of the devil" remind them: ...I make peace and create evil; I the lord do these things. Isaiah 45:7

Christians avoid that Bible passage like the plaque for good reason. They constantly condemn the devil (aka "The Enemy") yet also state that their god is omnipotent and omnipresent. This means that he not only knew what his creation would do ahead of time, but also that could have prevented it. Definitely not the sign of an all-loving god!
