Love how this guy misinterprets mental health exemption . It's about sparing women the trauma of delivering the baby only to have it die once outside her moments later .

Well, that would harsh their mellow. Levitate

But the fundie cousins who actively do the whole "bible study" thing are the bad ones. They KNOW what's in the babble and they still cling to it. Arrgghh

Do you want a modern account or an ancient one?

For ancient texts, I would choose Herodotus' Histories as covering a good amount of ancient material. If you want some good historical analysis, do Thucydides' Peloponnesian War.

I'm not sure what this has to do with theology.....

Second time in two days I've seen Thucydides mentioned. That book is available on Project Gutenberg, btw.
