Last time I check killing babies is actually a step beyond causing harm to them.
Quote:As I already said yesterday, the fetus was considered water or a limb of it's mother. Apart from the rather frequent passages about killing infants and every woman having known men. If a men suspected one of his wives (can't be stressed enough that there were usually several) cheated on him, he could bring her before a priest, who then forced an abortion with mud potion. So babie's life wasn't as precious as todays christians make it out to be.Citation?
because what I have found reads completely different. It was only lawful to abort a baby if the mother was endanger only if the child itself had not yet been born. otherwise the mother was to give her life for the child. Jewish law even went so far to say any man who intentionally kills an unborn child should also be put to death. and man who accidently kills an unborn child will be heavily fined.

Quote:Same goes for same sex relationships. Only men are mentioned. For the simple reason that women were property.Uh, no. Rom 1:26
Quote:So tell me again about the wisdom of that old book and why our morality is ultimately wanting compared to that archaic nonsense.
your points have been defeated, by have been shown to be in error. (what you think you know about the bible is wrong, therefore you final conclusion is also wrong)
