William Barr compared coronavirus lockdown to slavery talking to students and faculty of a private Christian college in Michigan:
Of course the liberal media and all the crazy left wingers criticized him for it - I mean, they criticize him for everything, even if he says "it's raining" when it's clearly raining, the same crowd would still be appalled by his remarks.
Nonetheless, it is worth considering whether Attorney General was 100% correct in his statement. Let's compare and contrast:
Coronavirus quarantine
Coronavirus quarantines were introduced by communist left wing governments, taking away freedom from God fearing Christians in clear opposition to the Holy Bible:
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Sure, we weren't literally locked down in our houses, but our freedom to go to a restaurant, movie theater, even hair salon have been taken away from us.
The businesses have been closed, practically forcing people to do nothing - and God really does hate lazy bums who sit around without doing nothing:
Proverbs 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Proverbs 21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
So yes, in terms of taking away one's freedom the quarantine has been exactly like slavery. What's worse, we were not allowed to work, thus angering God. All to save lives of people who are either old or have preexisting conditions so they're going to die sooner or later anyway. Ridiculous.![Thumbdown](https://www.landoverbaptist.net/core/images/smilies/thumbdown.gif)
Slavery
Slavery was also taking away freedom, which is why Barr made the comparison. However, slavery was forcing lazy bums to work, and as I have shown in the verses above, God wants everyone to work hard! Moreover, slavery is part of the social order that God has approved, to the point that God included detailed instructions both to slave owners and slaves themselves in the Life Manual that is the Holy Bible.
Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
So slavery is approved by God. Sure, some slaves died on the way here (after their African black brothers have captured and sold them to white slavers on the African coast - white slavers never needed to venture into the continent by themselves), some died on the plantations, some children were sold away from their parents, really, nothing out of the ordinary, everything that happened can be easily justified with the Holy Bible.
In conclusion, Barr's comparison of slavery with coronavirus quarantines was basically true but a bit unfair: coronavirus quarantines are much worse than slavery.
Attorney General William Barr drew sharp condemnation Thursday for comparing lockdown orders during the coronavirus pandemic to slavery. In remarks Wednesday night at an event hosted by Hillsdale College, Barr had called the lockdown orders the "greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history" since slavery.
