Yes. Killing people in those ways for those crimes back then was ETHICAL. But was it moral? No. We look back on the way people were stomped on and trampled on and butchered and any decent human being will say it was heinous, disgusting, and barbaric. When you bring up the bible, suddenly it was totally OK because this god that there is no proof of said it was ok.You sir have created an elaborate strawman. Either you lack comprehension or you did not actually read my post. Obviously you have your own views that you will hold regardless of what I say. So we'll just leave it at that.
Well, christians, you'd better hope I don't start hearing voices in my head telling me to cut all your throats because by your arguments, that would be a valid legal and moral argument and I could piss on your graves and it would be A-OK, because "god told me so."
Your arguments do little to convince me that I should ever just "be quiet" and "let christianity spread." The more you idiots try to morally justify the slaughter and slavery so lavishly and lovingly described in your book of barbaric nursery rhymes the more convinced I am that I need to not only protest your immorally-based bullshit, but that I need to start engineering the total fucking demise of your entire damn religion.
You might want to stop shooting yourselves in the foot and get off your dogmatic BS and just accept that your book was man-made.
Oh, do I now? Then why don't you explain to me what it was you were trying to get at because it was a very confusing jumble of half-thoughts and partially-completed points, so if you could just touch up on it, that would be terrific, thanks.
