OMG Will!!! We agree on something??? Bound to happen sooner or later....no hard feelings I hope. I also heard someone mention the, "stone your child" deal, another thread maybe, but this one has kinda died out anyway. I remember something like, if your child is an alcoholic and cant be contolled, he should be taken before the people and stoned to death, thus eliminating sin from the people. Sorry, I dont ever quote scripture & verse, seems to be such a turnoff to so many people. So what if they stoned to death some bad seed??? Is this really that suprising for people that were barely out of the stone age??? Applying todays morality to ancient peoples takes these 'laws' completely out of context. The greeks wouldnt tolerate a malformed child and they were left to die or tossed from a mountain top, the chinese often killed female children in favor of males. The list goes on......but yourself in their shoes if you can, but its hard to imagine the world as it was 5000 years ago. Any of us born then, would not be the people were are now.
