I'll remember it when pagans adopt the traditions of their elders and bow their knees to the Cross. I am not a pagan of course, as I find all unevidneced supersitions equally dubious, but this rather crass hubris, made me think of a quote from the late Christopher Hitchens:
“Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse.”
So if anyone thinks I can be cajoled intimidated or threatened into changing my mind, then another quote from the film "Cool Hand Luke" springs to mind:
"Oh they broke me alright, you couldn't fool them, not about that; but they never got my mind right, no sir, not with no stick."

The punishment of aiding an army that is defending a city against siege is death.

If calling your ancestors wise intimidates you then I can only guess at what that would imply about your own character.

As any troll, he's not into evidence.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

More nonsense. Your tactic is not to say anything factual but to overwhelm every topic with bullshit and have the last word.
