Funny how you forgot to mention that.

I didn't mention it because it's irrelevant. Presumably this means "don't torture them." Well, not beating the hell out of them does not mean that it's OK to own them. That the bible dictates how one should treat one's slaves indicates that the author of the bible (presumably god) condones slavery. If the bible didn't condone slavery, it would say "don't HAVE slaves."
