http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2013/04/08/chalcedon-pastor-claims-there-is-a-place-for-slavery-in-godly-cultures/In a recently posted You Tube sermon, the pastor of Chalcedon Presbyterian Church, Dr. Joe Morecraft says in a Biblical society, the godly must own the fool who despises Gods wisdom because its the only way to keep those with a slave mentality from ruining other peoples families.
Based on Proverbs 11:29, Morecraft makes a case for Biblically justified enslavement of a man who does not trust in Christ since slavery is the only way to keep a fool under wraps.
The dominionist pastor interprets the Proverb to predict that in a Christian theocracy, an unbeliever will lose his family, his property, and his freedom, and his energies, talents and life will not be used as he himself pleases, but in the service of wise people who work hard to benefit the community.
Put him in somebodys service where they can watch over him and make him do right even though he doesnt want to do it.

I wish all the fanatics who agree with this psycho were as sincere.

That's kind of unAmerican, I'd have thought. Not a great idea.

Once they convince themselves of this kind of indoctrination, it makes it easier for them to dehumanize you.

Sometimes stupidity is the only thing that keeps some people honest.

... regardless of whether the slaves were believers.
Thankfully, the bible is not the only thing we can base our morality on.

But in that case I'll make an exception.
