I don't know of any religions which require adherents to own slaves, so it is not inconsistent for a fundamentalist to not own any. (In particular, Christians are commanded to obey the laws of their country[0], in general, so owning slaves would be inconsistent).
Also, I don't know why you think churchgoers would have a problem with disabled people. Jesus healed the sick, and didn't stone anyone. Perhaps you're thinking of the story of the woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus saved from being stoned.[1]

- dash2 6y agoThere’s something in Deuteronomy IIRC.
- dane-pgp 6y agoThat doesn't sound correct. Perhaps you're mixing up the rules for tithing cattle[0] in Deuteronomy 15 with the rules for approaching Mount Sinai[1] in Exodus 19.
