CL, you don't do to others what those of antiquity did to others. And that includes what polytheists did to other polytheists too. Our knowledge of the world has changed since antiquity. Most humans back then lived under very tribal local rulers, and females even in polytheism were considered property to be bartered between families. When you defeated a rival ruling family, even in polytheism, it was quite common to take your prisoners and make slaves of them, and take the females as your concubine. I am not singling out Christians, even in prior polytheism, even in Buddhism and Hinduism, this was the case. The religions of antiquity worldwide, reflect the social norms of that time, back then. They do not reflect modern western pluralistic values. NOT even the ancient Greeks and Romans had modern governments, even they were ruled by ruling families and were quite brutal to rivals in war.
