the most ironic issue here is that you guys are looking back on an ancient
culture, pontificating 90's moral, as if true truth was just figured out a
few years ago.  i have no problem excepting criticism... however you cannot
read into an ancient society current pressuppositions.


BRIDEAN
So I am supposed to judge an ancient society based on that ancient
society's
standards?  If so then let's be consistent.  Let's judge a Hindu society
based
on Hindu standards (including Kali worship).  A moslem society based on
moslem standards, ect.
