1.That slavery has been received and blessed by God himself.
2.That God has been the originator and through scriptures have all our laws come into being.
3.That slavery is legal under the laws that have been created based on the inspired word of God.
4.That out of all the unmerciful ways to deal with those that follow the path to Oblivion and always seek to destroy the peace and prosperity of God's Empire; God chose slavery as a MERCIFUL way to treat those that treat us without mercy.
Brother Walys has given us four solid arguments.
1. Please provide concrete, empirical evidence for this argument otherwise it shall remain a matter of opinion. I have yet to see any definite evidence that non-slaves are more "blessed" than slaves. Granted many slaves can be better off than many economically deprived populations, however in either case the only distinction between them is not the scale on which their quality of life can be measured but the fact that one is free to chose its own destiny and the other is forced into a given path. No one should be able to look at the universe and deny that God favours variety over uniformity.
2. All the legislation you refer to was transcribed by men, not God. There is no point trying to measure God's influence in these as such a task is physically impossible. What we can say however is that man is fallible and there is potential for mis-understanding and manipulation of God's word for personal gain. Due to this, any legislation implemented in the name of God should be examined very carefully and constantly re-evaluated. I would forward the motion that any "true" divine law would be inherantly acceptable to all of God's children and cannot be considered as complete until this is the case. Clearly the issue of slavery must be addressed until a universally accepted stance is reached?
3. Again it is impossible to verify God's role in this legislation therefore it is only reasonable to carry out the most stringent of scrutiny when reviewing legislation to ensure it conforms to His purpose. It should be considered normal then that the institution of slavery should be re-examined.
4. More merciful than establishing peaceful coexistence?

we need not to explain ourselves but I can see way you may want to hmmmm.
Firstly, let me congratulate you on your language skills. I am truely humbled by your litterary superiority and I'm sure your supremacy as an Amarr over me extends not only in this field but in many others...
I must disagree with you however and say that it is absolutely fundamental for you to explain yourself. Being the instrument of God's will, responsible for spreading His word and unifying all of existence, surely you can see the necessity for discourse in this matter? The lesser races may be easy to convert through slavery, but how will you approach the enlightenment of those races that are too powerful for you to subdue?
I assume there is some sort of long term socio-diplomatic process in the pipe line in order to absorb these civilisations?

Anyway slave the mere fact that I have communicated with you has shown that even I am affected by todays insipid climate concerning the empire, it is this which if left unchecked will throw humanity back into oblivion.
You will do as all heathens will do, you will convert and become a loyal slave or you shall die !
Please refer to me using my proper lable of ex-slave and at the same time respect the fact that this means you can no longer give me orders.
