So, now that we’ve cleared that up, are you willing to say that slavery is evil?

Yes, but I do recognise that what one person might label slavery, others may not agree with being a slave at all.

Perspective is the key to understanding how things can vary rather than applying blanket statements to things.

Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves rather than just requiring slave owners to abide by codes of practice. Surely, God could have done that?

Again, I am not qualified to be asking or answering this question.  The whole idea of a creator, or God, isnt necessarily to make everything "right". 

How people view religion is deeply personal.  One persons definition doesn't fit someone else's but in those circumstances we hear various teaching from the bible that states, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.  The lesson there isnt about throwing stones, or targeting people for their mistakes.  Its about understanding that all people error along the way, and not to be too quick to judge people.

A little like judging guys who werent consulted about pride round.
