Re: Re: re: Old Testament
with the NT suggesting that people cut off certain body parts it means that if you're doing something (ie rubbing a girls thigh) that is causing them to sin (in this case lust) then you need to stop doing it immediately (not literally cut off your hand)
All the pagan's I know are cruel and love to cast spells (or whatever they do) that are supposed to be harmful to the person they are casting against!

But if you want to discuss religious brutality, we don't have to go back nearly so far in history to find some pretty horrendous examples of Christian atrocities, so just remember that when you want to bring up ancient Pagan history. [/B]
