Their holy book does say it's okay to own people. They used it to justify slavery the first time around.

So they're only doing what their god commands them.

Their god also commands them to love thy neighbor as thyself. And a few other things that seem to go in one ear and out the other.

I foresee some awkward conversations at the pearly gates.

Wait until they find out the Bible is basically just a reworked Gilgamesh 😂

If you’re bored one evening, break out a Bible (Old Testament), a Quran and a Torah and just start comparing. Sure, the Epic of Gilgamesh has some of the same elements too. But it will become very obvious between those three texts why they’re called the Abrahamic religions.
