If you believe the Bible is 100% correct, you believe in slavery.
The reality is that the Bible says much more in support of slavery than against it. Even the New Testament Jesus never says owning people is wrong. Instead, the Bible gives explicit instructions to masters and slaves.
You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Leviticus 25:44-46
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Ephesians 6:5
Basically the Bible believes in slavery, thinks women are equal to only half of a man, and advocates killing and human sacrifice even though one of God's rules is thou shall not kill.
The Bible doesn't explain that the earth is round. The Bible doesn't explain how earthquakes or tornadoes happen, etc...this is because the people that wrote the Bible weren't very smart and had no clue how life worked. As a result, they made shit up and scared the hell out of people into believing it. If you don't understand science an easy cop out is to say God causes it to happen.
It's going to be great a few thousands years from now when people look at us and think we were very uneducated people that worshipped these crazy gods. It won't be any different than how we view the ancient Greeks that worshiped Zeus and Athena.
