Topic: ITT: Slave-Freers
Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #38,678
You are the leader of a city-state that relies on slave labor.First you have some blond woman approach you with her army and her pet dragons who claims to be the mother of dragons demanding that you free your slaves or else.
Next you have a Jew come approach you claiming to have the power of God on his side demanding you to let his people go or else.
Which would you rather have knocking on your door and which one would you be most frightened of and/or know how to handle?

Wait, so they're there at the same time?
Are their respective peoples different, or is there some overlap? Could I potentially turn them against each other?

No, Daenerys came prior to Moses to your city-state.
Daenerys believes slavery of any sort is wrong, Moses just wants to free his Hebrew people which in this scenario you have plenty enslaved.

Fuck it, I order my soldiers to fight them both. It is our right to have the freedom to own slaves. We must stand oppressors like these who would try to take our freedoms away from us.

That's great and all, but how do you deal with the fact that there would also be three fucking dragons on your ass and a God sending his plagues upon you?

My city-state values freedom above all else. We know that freedom is worth dying for. If we cannot have our freedom to own slaves, then we may as well surrender to the dragon ladies or the sky wizard. No, we fight. For our freedom. Freedom from oppression.

You'll die. You could easily take out the dragons, but how do you plan to fight God?

But God would need to make a claim in order for the Russell's teapot argument to have an effect.

Possibly,
I know, I'll just introduce free healthcare to my city-state. That should deal with god's plagues just fine.

I would tell them both to have the dragons and Yahweh fight and the winner would get their slaves freed.

What good is free healthcare when you'd be behind in medical technology?

Is this insurance?
Because you know YHWH would kill the dragons and only let the Hebrew slaves go free thus keeping slaves for your city-state?
