And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
I have a daughter and I would fight with my life that she never be a slave, This is the moral book you speak of ? I say it's rubbish and should be looked at with contempt.

Many people, such as yourself, have a problem with the context of the bible. The term slavery used in the bible does not equate with the "slave trade". According to Old Testament law, anyone caught selling another person into slavery was to be executed. "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death." So again, you're cherry-picky of verses and subverting their meaning is refuted. Every man, woman and child is becoming more enslaved by our governments. Many believe they cannot survive without government handouts. This is the slavery the bible talks of.
