(This happened to my friend a few weeks ago)

My friend showed something about slavery to her "pastor"

(We're both agnostic but our families are Christian), and he couldn't say anything other than "that's when slavery was legal, but it's not legal anymore". her reply was "so, you as a pastor, someone that believes everything in the bible and tries to make other people believe in it, just said that almost half of the bible isn't able to be taken seriously now a days". He had nothing else to say after that. 

(For Example)

Exodus Chapter 21, verse 1:

"Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them. When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,' then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for life."

Here God describes how to become a slave for life, and shows that it is completely acceptable to separate slaves from their families. God also shows that he completely endorses the branding of slaves through mutilation.
