I've tried this before and got nothing but hysterics. Can anyone give a non religious argument for why slavery is wrong?

Every human deserves bodily autonomy, as is their birth right. But more importantly, if you care at all about long term growth, subjugation stunts progress. Its why the industrial boom happened, innovation in sciences, etc. But religion is what was used to solidify slavery in the first place, so without religion, one could argue it may never have come to pass.

Your argument begs the question. Why does every person deserve bodily autonomy? You're just making a claim.

by grey_occurrence · 3 hearts

Your argument steelmans your initial claim. You can have moral relativism without religion. If someone pokes you in your chest and you don't like it, you dont need religion to tell you thats bad. I claim bodily autonomy as a human right, because sure, anyone bigger than the next guy can subjugate them, but using theres always a bigger fish logic implies God, which then makes you the slave in the example.

You're just asserting a right.

Can you give an argument why it's right?

by huu66ty · 5 hearts

because why is it so difficult to understand humans aren't objects

by red_eviction · 5 hearts

What do you mean? Religion promotes slavery.

by orange_flamingo · 5 hearts

Because slavery completely takes away a person's agency

Leviticus 25:44-46 New International Version 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. Praise be to your Christian all knowing god. Amen 🙏

Basic human rights?

Well range baiting normally will get u those responses 🤷🏻‍♂️ And I can't see how god ended up in the equation at all. Please explain why we should bring that girl into it at all? It's bad to hurt other people and take advantage of them. Morals, is the short answer.

Do you want to be a slave? Because I think we should start with you

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

I don't think I want to, no. Now what's the argument for why you should not do things I don't like?

I dismiss all reality so someone convince me of an obvious truth 🙄under the false premise that my dishonest judgment is significant

Would you like it if you were a slave? No? Enough said.

Skill issue

by Disheartend · 0 hearts

There's no skill issue there. Are you saying that it takes skill to break away from slavery? No it takes risking your life to break away from slavery.

by HappyDayAlive · 0 hearts

It takes skill to not be a slave lol

Im still waiting on the religious argument. Especially since Christianity very explicitly condones slavery.

by anon52 · 2 hearts

Religion is what created slavery in the first place

Only if you're still a moral absolutist

How does it feel to be a good little socioeconomic slave to the elites? Feel good?

by Sweetestpea765 · 1 heart

Nope, that’s we we need God 🩷

by ThiccWhore38D · 1 heart

You're fucked up if u need religion to have morals

by SciGuy · 1 heart

Depends on which epistemological / moral framework you adopt. For example, utilitarians could argue the benefits accrued to slave owners is outweighed by the suffering the slaves endure.

by DoneWithPeople · 1 heart

People should have the freedom to live their lives in a way that does not impinge upon the freedom of others. So murder, slavery, and so on would fall under this

by grey_dust · 1 heart

Consent. If a person wants to be a slave (like a Dom slave situation), cool. If a person is trafficked into slavery, not cool. Imagine being the person who gets taken from their home and forced to work with no pay, poor treatment, etc.

because I wouldn't want to be a slave

The slave doesnt have freedom

by tan_lynx · 1 heart

it's hard for people to accept that without God, it's my claim versus your claim and if we are just a clump of cells , why does it even matter.
