Since we both love context, here is the whole discourse,

1 Corinthians 7:20-23
[20]Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.
[21]Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.
[22]For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave.
[23]You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

It literally says after the part you quoted "BUT IF YOU CAN BE MADE FREE RATHER USE IT" and ends with "DO NOT BECOME SLAVES OF MEN".

I struggle to believe you are not the one interpreting the Bible the way you like in order to arrive at your pre-desired conclusion. Really sounds like a case of calling a dog a bad name because you really want to hang it.

I can't make you take it back as I am not the boss of you but I think we (including atheists) should all be interested in seeking truth and I have found despite atheist's constant claims of being rational and Christians being all "faith" and no "logic", you guys tend to be interested only in blasting a caricature of Christianity (with your loyal fans echoing you on as the champions of reason and logic unlike those irrational Christians with their "sky-daddy") never bothering to at least understand what they are criticizing.

But at least you are willing to engage so thank you for that, another of your publication's writers (Lilith Helstrom) blocked me the minute I started ruthlessly dissecting her article😂😂😂, ...thankfully I have screenshots and I will pen down an article evidencing our discussion for the world to see.

But I digress...

I ask one last time and if you don't answer, I will take it you have no answer but "on what atheistic grounds can you abolish slavery and what makes slavery evil in an atheistic worldview?"

Happy to park it here if you don't answer and thanks for your time.
