Communism is so powerful that even God fears it
The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. - Genesis 11:6

Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

oh yeah god was a real big abolitionist??
Depending on the book the answer is either "yes" or "no, but he is very very critical of the institution". My personal fanon is that he had a sorta "wait and see and then limited intervention" approach to post-flood human evils (I do not headcanon an omniscient unchanging god in these books)
if god hated slavery so much.... why did he invent it
I mean...he doesn't? First time he mentions it (after doing a very small genocide in Egypt to get them to stop slavery (Interestingly non-military slavery is very rare in ancient Egypt, only really existed in the middle kingdom) he's like "Nope, you gotta let them go after 6 years unless they want to say".
Now admittedly he then says his wife and children remain slaves, but in fairness god is trying to gently introduce to the people of Israel the concept of being human. There's a theological argument in some parts of Judaism that god chose them because they were the literal Worst, and if he can beat them into shape the rest will be easy.
Slavery: exists
Existence: created by god
Slavery: created by god
Ipso facto, truth be extracto
Ik is lighthearted bc emote (ty) but my assumption would be slavery is part of why he said "dont eat the fruit of knowledge, is bad for u"
