It's explicitly Biblical text that God endorses slavery (Ephesians 6:5) and opposes homosexuality (Leviticus 20:13), though. If that seems strange to you, it's because you aren't a Bronze Age patriarch trying to portray your material interests as aligning with the will of the perfect and infallible creator of the universe.
