On the other hand, if we approach the Bible as we would any other book, then we can choose what is important to us and disregard the rest.[/b]

If the bible is supporting slavery, the old testament (Leviticus 25:44-46) as well as the new testament (Ephesians 6:9), why was the slavery abolished in America at 1865?

...They have deprived the natives of their property or turned it to their own use, and have subjected some of the inhabitants of said islands to perpetual slavery, sold them to other persons and committed other various illicit and evil deeds against them... We order and command all and each of the faithful of each sex that, within the space of fifteen days of the publication of these letters in the place where they live, that they restore to their earlier liberty all and each person of either sex who were once residents of said Canary Islands...who have been made subject to slavery. These people are to be totally and perpetually free and are to be let go without the exaction or reception of any money...

Pope Eugene IV (1435) - Sicut Dudum:

So you think that the Songs of Solomon is an important book in the Bible?

If the Holy Bible is the word of God, then the Songs of Solomon is important. Not as important as the book of Genesis or the book of John, but important nonetheless.
