How Doug Wilson SHOULD Have Answered Sam Harris' Attacks on Christianity

Jeremy Pryor's Podcast

Sam Harris recently had Doug Wilson on his podcast where he brought up 2 "kill shots" against Christianity.

One is women's right to vote.

The other is slavery.

While I think Doug did a decent job explaining household voting as a reasonable and ideal alternative to our current voting system, he left a LOT to be desired in his defence of Biblical slavery.

The first conversation is good, and something we've talked about here at Family Teams, so I hope you'll watch it and get a sense of why household voting could work.

But the second one is very important. Not because it's culturally relevant today, necessarily, but because so many atheists and libertarians think that there's a glaring moral hole in the Bible as it relates to slavery. We MUST be able to defend how the Bible talks about slavery, and I give my version of what I think Doug should have said here.
