Ah the name calling.
It's not name calling, when it is the truth...

Leviticus, Exodus, among some others are part of the Old testament. The Old Testament is part of the Christian bible, but it was the rules of the Jewish people. it wasn't the rules of Christianity. Jesus Christ came to redeem mankind, but he also changed a lot of rules that the Jewish people had. It is why it is called Christianity.
Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.
Again, how could Christians call for the enslavement of other people when they were a persecuted people who had to go underground?
Not to mention that slavery was being used by the Roman pagans as part of the economy of the time. The Hebrew people, and the Christians had to abide by pagan Roman rule.
Romans 13
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

All you have proven is that you keep changing goal posts when you keep losing an argument. Not to mention that you keep on trying to ignore the fact that "atheist belief" has enslaved whole nations.

Jesus was a poor carpenter who grew up in a predominantly illiterate and tiny corner of the world. He lived just 33 years, the last few making claims of his Godhood. Which ultimately lead to his death. He was not a general, or dictator or ruler or king or president... he was a simple and humble servant.
1) What year is it? 2017. It is 2017 to EVERYONE on Earth. Every check or document you sign atheist or theist is dated 2017. That is precisely 2017 years since the birth of Jesus Christ. This fact must REALLY get the goats of all those Atheists who have to acknowledge the year in which we live... maybe they could file a federal lawsuit!
4) He appeared to me supernaturally 11 years ago, when I was an arrogant atheist. The light shined so brightly, yet there was no source... it was a room, with no windows, no light source... the most beautiful sight... but I digress. I understand my personal experience is no proof to you... but I never claimed to provide YOU with proof... only to present proof.
Jesus Christ lives and He IS God.
Which is why the entire world turns on a timetable marked by his birth... most of whom HATE him and deny him at every turn.
He is coming, there is still time to change your heart.
Now... my atheist friends... commence the trolling
