And if it is <was?> ok, according to some missive that 'God' released to
the southern presses only, to have slaves if you are 'Christian' is it ok
to be a slave if you are Christian?

So non-Christian slave owners, BAD
Christian slave owners, GOOD
Christian slaves, good to own
non-Christian slaves, good to own

I guess the problem is just those pesky non-Christian slave owners.
What about cranky Christian slave owners? un-repentant cranky Christian
slave owners? Why didn't freed Christian slaves immediately run out and
start their own slave-owning lifestyles? Much to busy with recreational
Underground Railroad jaunts to Uncle Tom's Waterfront Cabin with
room service (only Christian wait-staff, of course).

Why were the Israelites so aggravated about being slaves? Or were they
only chafing at the lack of properly churched owners?

Is Mr. Wilson referencing a long lost Spring Valley Reservoir Scroll, the
Book of Doug?
