  > Brigham Young believed that slavery was ordained of God, and accepted slaves for tithing. It’s not like there’s an intellectually honest way of getting a ban on slavery from Christian Scripture. Mohamed was over 600 years later and substantially more liberal with regard to slavery than was the norm before him and his religion didn’t ban slavery either. The Abrahamic scriptures aren’t really ambiguous on this. God does not object to slavery as such.

    When one claims to have a direct line to God and receive modern revelation, it would be expected that maybe they would see the writing on the wall, and I dunno, not enslave people? The problem was that they were actively writing new scripture that supposedly had equal (if not more) weight than both the Old and New Testament.
