Is that the solution to all those lazy, fatass rednecks who live in the south? We should enslave them so they can gain life skills

“No, not like that.”

Except the anti-gay part is a 70 year old (seemingly deliberate) misinterpretation of a line saying a man shouldn't lay with a boy. Which was about not being a pedophile, which these religious "leaders" do daily, and not about homosexuality. The Gold metals go to religions for gymnastics, mental category.

All the translations say "man" (or "male") though, not "boy". Where did the misinterpretation happen? Genuinely curious

In around 1946 it was changed from the word for man-bed to homosexual. This is due to translation from Greek to the various different languages, including English over the years. Apparently the original greek word used was arsenokoitai which wasn't the word for homosexual just meaning man-bed having many meanings such as sexual perverts, which if he meant explicitly homosexual he would have used paiderasste.

Didn't God free the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt?

Yeah it was around the same time when Thor was dressing in drag to get back Mjolnir.
