They were "delivered from evil" by not having to become slaves when they died................wouldn't you think?

The saving that he spoke of was not in this lifetime. I think he said he would save all believers from evil, and chances are that most slaves weren't Christians until they got to the new world and were forcefully converted.

he meant in the afterlife...jesus doesn't care about what you're going through here. he just (according to the mythology) is going to make you happy once this miserable life of suffering is over. Don't be a hater!

life happens. not everything can be good. if it were, then there would be no need for anything, especially God. without suffering there can be no compassion....
not only slaves have suffered. every race and religion has gone through persecution and some kind of suffering.

Jesus didn't throw them overboard, He gave people choice, and only people abuse them.

Because they were in a hurry to be delivered first.

we have to deliver ourselves from evil.
Jesus is not responsible for our actions.
WE ARE!
Don't blame everything on Jesus.

Because the only one that can save humanity is humanity ourselves.
