		<description><![CDATA[I saw a bumper sticker the other day that made me laugh. It said, in bright readable letters: “God is Pro-Life.” Really? I thought. What are we supposed to go by?

		<description><![CDATA[Momigliano, not along among scholars, takes note of the fact that “the members of the ruling class of Rome were ready to transact business with people who worshipped different gods and were used to different political traditions. Roman polytheism could adapt itself to, and indeed merge with, what we may call the provincial traditions.” Provincial traditions = ethnic religion. Roman polytheism was itself an ethnic religion. Barriers translated.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you go back to the “Old” Testament to which nearly all Christians treat as scripture, and the terrible crimes portrayed there…you can see where it all begins. The entire “Old” Testament is an anti-Pagan diatribe, a rejection of everything polytheism holds dear. Jesus was no more tolerant even if he did not slaughter people. He considered Gentiles (that’s you AND me) to be swine, a typical attitude of his time. The promise of both Judaism AND Christianity (the end-time scenario) calls for all nonbelievers to be eradicated in genocide such as the world has never known. Anyone who believes this (or wants it) is guilty of intolerance and much else besides.]]></description>

The deeds of many of these men is little different than giving Lt. William Calley the Medal of Honor for his part in directing the atrocities at My Lai. Others are worse, on an order of some magnitude.]]></description>
