re: #168 Salamantis

Quite right. But the lesson is unnecessary for Christians and Jews. If in the past the god of the Bible gave instructions to take actions that we ,2700 years later, find cruel and barbarous, these were instructions given to those people at a specific time and for a specific purpose. The instructions were not open ended where, for evermore ,we are to kill those people who do not share our beliefs, whatever they may be.
