Would you choose God

Muffled

Jesus in me
Well, I think he made us individuals

As such we own ourselves

I'm glad this is the case

Or else humans would be slaves

We would all literally be slaves
I believe I am a slave and much better off because of it. As the prodigal son figured out; it would be better to be a slave in his father's house than a free man in the pig pen.

I don't think those are the only choices......

But enjoy being a slave!

What I mean by reject is that I would acknowledge they are doing a great wrong and not reject God's judgment on the issue. I would not kick them out of the house nor treat them bad aside from holding the moral stance that what they are doing is wrong.

If your religion would interfere with your duty as a parent to provide basic love and support, then ethics demands that you avoid having kids.

We are not slaves, we are servants. There is a difference. Servants choose to serve, slaves don't.
They clearly called themselves a slave, not a servant

They could have used that word to describe themselves but no, they didn't. They chose to use the one they did.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
I choose the most trustworthy over the least trustworthy. I choose the best character over the worst character. If there was a God then that God would have to prove both trust and character to what that God created.

Just accepting a God without proof of trustworthiness and character is a no no. Power and might don't make right.
