The bible also supported and justified slavery as one of it's principles.

No. The bible addressed the issue of slavery because it was a well
known practice at the time. It never endorsed slavery.

ROFL. The mental gymnastics you go through to come to your silly
conclusions are amazing. Of course the bible endorsed slavery:

And you see this text as being an endorsement?

One example:

And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out
as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who has betrothed
her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to
sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her. And
if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the
custom of daughters. If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food,
her clothing, and her marriage rights. And if he does not do these three for her,
then she shall go out free, without paying money.

€”€‰Exodus 21


And aren't you bible thumpers always telling us how the bible, the church
is our guide from telling right from wrong? What the hell good is the
bible, if it says that you shall not commit adultery or steal, but holding
people at slaves, it not only doesn't condemn it, but actually talks
about how to do it?

That text was describing what people were doing, and it was telling them
to do right by the people they had authority over.

The village idiot rides again! The bible describes how to sell your daughter
as a slave and you see that as not endorsing slavery, but telling people
how to to "right"?

ROFL
