re: #157 Cato the Elder

I can’t think of one from the NT offhand, but as far as I know the OT is also part of the Christian repertoire, and I seem to remember a psalm that extols anyone who would take the children of the enemy (usually the enemies were infidels) and dash out their brains against a rock.

Of course, you may interpret that away if you like.

Oh, and Mandy, the passage you quote about Jews hiding behind rocks and trees is not from the Koran; it is a hadith.

You can find plenty of similar horrors in secondary Christian literature.

Ignoramus.
