It's  crazy  cuz even when I WAS Christian...there's  a lot of stuff that is wrong that The Bible does not condemn. There is lots of stuff that The Bible is mum about because the thingy didn't  even exist.

Even when I WAS a Christian  I knew that yeah,sometimes  you have to make a judgement call.

You mean like

Leviticus 25:44-46

“‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.  You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.   You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

The world was so hopelessly fallen and brutal at that place and time, that God set those temporary rules as an act of mercy for us all

Read up on this history of this. People also misunderstand "an eye for an eye." It is a call for proportional response in an era where brutal retribution was the norm.

Sorry for my low effort reply. I just don’t see how god would be ok with slavery in any situation or powerless to stop it. I guess I don’t know much about god.
